Napoleonic Eagle

This is the Napoleonic Eagle captured at the Battle of Waterloo by Ensign Ewart.
The eagle is usually kept in Edinburgh Castle but I photographed it in its temporary home at the Museum of Scotland, Chambers Street, Edinburgh. You can see my faint reflection in the glass of the museum case

Jack–
i’d recognize your reflection anywhere.
You sure do look an awful lot like an eagle, funnily enough.

Denis,
It’s the hooked nose and pointed fingernails that do it….
