They were recorded today (8/2/2011) at Mai Po in the afternoon. Sorry for the bad resolution as the photos were taken in quite a distance. Anyway, if I am wrong, pls correct me.

Hi,

I think this is Imperial Eagle juvenile to me.

I think you'll find this is a 1st winter Imperial Eagle. Compare it with the Steppe Eagle of last year in the following threads:

Thanks Peter & Geoff to ID. I agree, as the uppertail coverts tells the difference.
