Wild Eagle in the Fens...

I was around Terr St John Today, reallly off the beaten track, when the missus suddenly said, what sort of Bird is that?

I stopped the Van, first I thought it was a statue, but then the statue took off, dropping the fully grown rabbit it had caught and soared away.

MOWSER!!!
