Unknown Raptor 不知名猛禽
Taken in Tai Po Kau on 7th Oct. 2006.
There were actually 2 circling up in the sky.
I thought of Crested Goshawk at that time but, the 2nd photo showed that the wings weren't that round.
That confused me so any suggestion for what they were? :?
Thanks!

It is Crested Goshawk. The pointed look to the wingtips in the second photo is due partly to the angle of view, but mainly due to the fact the wings are pressed forward as the bird glides. Many raptors can appear to have rather pointed wings when doing this.
