Watch a Photographer Rescue an Eagle From Thick Mud

A nature photographer dragged himself through thick mud to rescue an eagle in a coastal marsh in Poland. The whole thing was captured in a video.

Chomicz brought the distressed bird, a white-tailed eagle, back to dry land, enduring some pecking at his arms and legs in the process.

It was believed that the eagle was about six-month-old and had fallen into the mud after attempting its first flight.

Chomicz has a history of saving birds in trouble. In summer 2015, he rescued another white-tailed eagle that had also become stuck in mud near Swinoujscie.
