Honey Buzzard? Black-eared Kite « Reply #2 on: Aug 25th, 2005, 2:37pm » Quote Modify Does look like Honey Buzzard... But given location, time and the quality and angle of photo, I think the possibility of Black-eared Kite should be considered as well...   Also note the sharpness of the wing (angle possible, but still sharp at Primaries) and hint of crescent on the dark underwing, suggestive of the Kite. « Last Edit: Aug 25th, 2005, 2:39pm by Koel_Ko » Logged Allen BBS Member BBS God Early Birder gets more birds...     Posts: 143 Re: 鳳頭蜂鷹?黑鳶?

Black-eared Kite « Reply #4 on: Aug 30th, 2005, 10:43pm » Quote Modify It's an interesting photograph but you need to bear in mind that at this time of the year many Black-eared Kites are moulting.     When they moult their tail feathers, B-eared Kites can appear very confusing, as they can totally lose their fork-tailed appearance and appear very much as they do in the photograph. I saw a B-eared Kite with a similar looking tail at Ma On Shan three weeks back.     dave diskin Logged Pages: 1  Reply Send Topic Print Forum Jump: ----------------------------- Announcement 簡訊通告 -----------------------------  - Membership Affair 會員事務   - Outings / Activities 戶外活動 / 講座   - Projects 項目計劃   - Crested Bulbul Club 紅耳鵯俱樂部 ----------------------------- Discussion Area 討論區 -----------------------------  - General 一般問題   - Conservation 自然保育 => Bird Identification 鳥類辨識   - Birding Reports & Tips 觀鳥報告及心得   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 I   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 II ----------------------------- Special Topics 特別主題 -----------------------------  - Wild Birds & Avian Flu 野鳥與禽流感   - Sustainable Management Scheme in Long Valley 塱原可持續生態管理計劃   - Black-faced Spoonbill 黑臉琵鷺   - Goodbye Penfold 告別彭福   - Tern Conservation 燕鷗保育   - Black-eared Kite 鳶(麻鷹)   - Swifts and Swallows 燕與雨燕   - China Birdwatching Network 中國觀鳥活動網絡   - Winter Altas Survey 冬季鳥類普查   - Nature Conservation Policy 自然保育政策 ----------------------------- Knowledge Sharing 知識分享 -----------------------------  - FAQ 常見問題   - Archive 資料重溫 « Previous topic | Next topic »
