Eagles fighting, Ilmatsalu, Estonia - Oct 2012

White-tailed eagles in south-east Estonia (Ilmatsalu) fighting over food.
Eagles Clash Mid-Air In Fight For Food
These spectacular images show two eagles clash in an aerial battle as they fight over food and territory.
Taken by British wildlife photographer Luke Massey in south-east Estonia, Ilmatsalu, the White-tailed eagles almost seem as if they are dancing with each other as their dramatic movements cause a mid-air spectacle.
White-tailed eagles are huge birds with a wingspan of up to 8 foot. This has led to them being known as flying barn doors due to their large, broad wings.
They live in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, the Netherlands, the United States, and in Egypt.
There is currently a small population of White-tailed eagles in Scotland.
The location the eagles were photographed in attracts a lot of ravens, which in turn attracts the eagles.
Luke said: "There were mostly juvenile birds taking advantage of the food source. Their natural prey is wildfowl, hares and other smaller mammals.
"They were all bickering amongst themselves to attain the best position at the food site. It was interesting to watch the hierarchy."

White Tailed Kites exchanging a vole in mid-flight, San Francisco Bay, California, America - 23 Jun 2010

White Tailed Kites exchanging a vole in mid-flight, San Francisco Bay, California, America - 23 Jun 2010
IN-FLIGHT MEAL FOR BABY KITE
A fledgling white-tailed kite gets an in-flight meal as it chases after its dad 100 feet above the ground and is then handed a vole in mid-air.
The seven week old, which is too young to hunt for itself, perched on a nearby oak tree with its two siblings waiting for their dad to return with breakfast.
It was then a race to the food, with the fastest and most agile youngster snatching the vole with its talons - leaving the others to go hungry until the next time.
Retired surgeon Phil Seu, 48, spent 100 hours photographing the birds from a hide in San Francisco Bay, California, United States.
The remarkable series of pictures, showing the exchange of food, took less than two seconds. The birds were flying at almost 15 miles per hour at the time.
Phil said: "I was going to the nature reserve on a regular basis to photograph a pair of nesting white-tailed kites I had observed building a nest earlier in the season.
"This pair successfully raised three fledglings during my observation period.
"The bird with the vole is the adult male white-tailed kite and the other is a recently fledged juvenile.
"It is approximately seven weeks old and has only been flying for about two weeks.
"At this age, the fledglings are not able to hunt for themselves so they hang out on trees near the nest while the adult male goes off on hunting forays.
"The adult female was tending to a second nest at this time.
"When the adult returns from a successful hunt with a vole, the three fledglings get very excited and start vocalising and flying around trying to get to the vole first.
"The sequence of images shows one of the fledglings approaching the adult and then reaching fo...

Mother polar bear (Ursus maritimus) with two coy (cubs-of-year) on multi-year ice floes in the Barents Sea off the eastern side of Heleysundet in the Svalbard Archipelago, Norway. An adult male weighs around 400?680 kg (880?1,500 lb) while an adult female is about half that size. The IUCN now lists global warming as the most significant threat to the polar bear, primarily because the melting of its sea ice habitat reduces its ability to find sufficient food. The IUCN states, If climatic trends continue polar bears may become extirpated from most of their range within 100 years. On May 14, 2008, the United States Department of the Interior listed the polar bear as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act.

Global warming is the most serious threat to polar bears, since the melting of sea ice limits the bear's ability to find food. The polar bear is currently listed as an endangered species.
