WITH a typical wingspan of 1.8 to 2.3 metres, wedge-tailed eagles are one of the most imposing birds of prey in the world. Watched by local landowner, Trevor Puls, a four-year-old male bird was released back into its native habitat near the Grampians last week after 18 months of rehabilitation. Photo: GLENN GUY.
