Stunning and inspiring photos and a great story but I can't help wondering if the girl would go out hunting wearing such beautiful national costume:

Last golden eagles I saw were a family of three in Skye, they circled on the thermals level with us, within a stone's throw of where we had stopped on the glacial lip of a corrie; amazing.

Coire Lagan per chance? I'm sure we had a golden eagle above us when descending the Great Stone Chute some time ago.

Well, I'm sure the delightful young lady wanted to look her best for the photographer, but apart from that, d'you honestly think she could fly an adult eagle like that without having spent years gaining it's trust?
They are impressive creatures but the females can be very moody/tempremental. My mate has two and I would never put my face to close to them for fear of losing it. The young girl has clearly spent every waken minute working with the bird.
