@Still: and had the wind in my favour. It was very strong blowing my direction so he could not hear me coming and only saw me when I was about 2-3 meters away.
Wonderful detail ! And it's interesting to see that not just people get use out of that grill .

@Fred: I think he used the grill because from it he could have a good view on his surroundings. Because he was so busy and because of a very strong wind blowing my direction, he could not hear me coming, so I approached him to about 2-3 meters.
That's wonderful. As they say about real estate, "location, location, location". The eagle is a spectacular bird, but it is the grill that makes the photo.

@Mike Cash: Thanks. I took loads of photos while walking towards the bird and was amazed I could approach it so close.
