Tourist snaps an eagle, what a great shoot!
What a great shoot folks!
Eagle its beating wings forming an almost perfect square against a background of water spray; this is an American bald eagle in the act of catching a fish.
Many a professional wildlife photographer with state-of-the art equipment would have been delighted with such a dramatic picture. In fact it was taken by a tourist with a standard camera hoping for a memorable holiday snap.
The lucky man, Dean Bertoncelj, 39, had his close encounter of the bird kind at a nature reserve on Lanzarote in the Canary Isles.
The Croatian from Zagreb said: “I lay down on the ground waiting for it to arrive and unbelievably it swooped down right in front me and picked up a fish. I think it is the best picture I’ve ever taken.”
