Top bombing Pal ..... I was out with a lad in the earley 90's with a female Harris flying on a Rabbit infested bit of land, the problem was their was a Public footpath along the Boundary with a oldish guy and woman walking a Labrador, the Harris left the tree and soared across to a tree above where they was walking and Bang!! Nailed it by the head, All I could hear was the dog yelp and the bloke shouting "Its a f*****g Eagle! Its a f*****g Eagle", thankfully the bird just cut the Labrador over the second time and came back! at that time tears was running down my face pissing myself but looking back it could have been a bit nasty if it got his dog in the eye. It was somthing I have never heard of before but since then I have heard of HH's attacking dogs.... Jasper Quote Link to post
