Bonelli's Eagle with radio transmitter?
When collecting photographs for the 2014 HK Bird Report, Andy Li sent me two photographs of a Bonelli's Eagle taken at MPNR Pond 8 on 14th October 2014.

Close examination shows what appears to be a radio transmitter attached to the bird's back

If anyone knows any more about this bird or there are any other photographs, we would be interested to hear

Wow - whatever it is it looks interesting! I've posted a link to this thread on the Oriental Bird Club as well to see if anyone knows of any tracking studies being conducted for this species.
