Belgium-based bird photographer Rudi Debruyne has built up one of the best bird image collections to be found anywhere in the world. His image of a White-tailed Eagle fishing was taken on a trip to Poland made specifically to photograph this species. Freezing this magnificent bird just centimetres above the water as it swooped in across the frame and directly into the light, Rudi has captured a truly stunning action image. The pin-sharp focus on the menacing eye and fearsome bill and talons emphasises the power of this majestic species. Photo of the week citation (admin), 17/01/08
