White-tailed Eagles normally take flight silently, yet, while checking some Common Starlings and hoping for Rosy Starlings , I heard a few noisy wing-beats, enough to turn and see a young eagle flying with a wing tag. Hidden from my view, it stood on a nearby tree and if it weren’t for those clumsy beats, I wouldn’t have noticed it.

Eventually the weaker juvenile flew to be with its loud sibling. They sat together on a branch, touched wings, and the stronger juvenile flew to the next tree and started screaming again.
