Animalphotography - Eagle at the highest Birds of Prey show in Europe

This summer i visited the highest Birds of Prey show in Europe. It takes place in Mayerhofen/Ausria wich is situated more than 2000 meters above sea level. You can take a visit to this place from June to October and if you need more information about the show you can take a look on the website:

One fun fact when visiting this place was that a visitor had to hide his small "dog" from these animals so they don't confuse the small dog with some food. The Eagles are kept together with a big Owl and some other Birds of Prey on this Station.

Due to the perfect weather we had this day the show was pretty crowded and a lot of people where watching it. A lot of the visitors took pictures and videos of the show with their smartphones and small Digicams. Me and Stefan where the only ones with "serious cameras", if you want to call it like that. This photoshoot was a good test for the speed of the Autofocus of my camera, because Birds of Prey can really get a very nice speed when flying.
