Title: Unsure raptor at Mai Po
Post by Neil on Oct 25th, 2005, 3:14pm
I photographed this bird yesterday. At first I thought it was a Marsh Harrier but others have suggested maybe an eagle.  Taken around Pond 20 Any confirmation would be appreciated. Neil.

Neil, I think this is a Bonelli's Eagle. Saw him today as well! ;D
IMO, they are the most handsome eagles that can be seen in Hong Kong. Yes, I am biased! ;D :P
