Yesterday morning the Steppe Eagle was again seen at Mai Po from the Tower Hide at around 10:00.

It gave very good views as it seemed happy to soar around at no great height above the reedbed area beyond Pond 8.

The key feature was the long, broad and pale underwing bar (which seperates from all eagles except Crested Serpent Eagle (which it definitely wasn't!) and a tawny coloured back and head, with a pale rump, and darker flight feathers, with fine pale fringes to the coverts.
