The eagle has landed: Hunting with the last eagle hunters in Kyrgyzstan
High above the southern shore of Issyk-Kul lake, in east Kyrgyzstan, we wait and watch for movement on the rocky hillside below. Movement means prey. And that means that the hunt is on.

Today these icons of communism are crumbling, in varying states of decay, with just a few still welcoming guests.
