Nature Unlimited 1 July 2022

This is the additional weekly image thread for the Nature Forum. While images posted to this thread should still be nature in theme, it may contain a small amount of human-made objects and therefore less restricted than the Monday in Nature threads. Please see this discussion for more details: Alternative weekly thread in Nature forum

Each participant please post no more than just one image per weekly thread. Many members will appreciate any information you are willing or able to provide regarding location, shooting process, exposure settings, equipment, and information on the subject(s), including scientific and/or common names.

Captured with my old Samsung J7 in an inexpensive housing, no flash. Tour operator insisted we wear "properly" inflated horse collar vests, so diving down for closer shots and better color was, sadly, not an option.

 

This is not exactly a photo, but rather a frame from a 4K video about a juvenile eagle about to take off.

 

Was this taken with the Z9?
