Australia- Wedge-tailed Eagle (Aquila audax)

The mighty Wedge-tailed eagle with a massive wingspan, appropriately cancelled here at Hunter Region Mail Centre in New South Wales.

Australia-Wedge-tailed Eagle (Mansfield)

The date on this one could have been written as  20-12-2012. Another handsome Aquila audax  flew in from Mansfield Victoria, this time. Mansfield is a town at the foot of the Great Dividing Range  which you drive though from Melbourne if you want to go skiing at Mt Buller.

My favorite birds, the large eagles of the family Aquila. The Wedge-tailed eagle (Aquila Audax) is huge and ranks amongst the largest eagles in the world. Posted in Wangaratta , Victoria with an inverted date slug :)

Australia- Wedge-tailed Eagle & Rajah Shelduck

Here's a triple whammy. The reverse of the pre-paid postcard  has the latest in bird stamps, head of the magnificent Wedge-tailed eagle cancelled with a tiger on the FDI  28-09-2012, at Parkville Zoo, Melbourne. This is only the second time the Wedgie has featured on an Australian stamp. Front of the card is my favorite duck, the handsome Rajah Shelduck on a maxi-card . Always nice to see the Parkville Zoo permanent marker with the elephant .

Thanks again to my good friend Robin in Victoria .
