083 Bonelli's Eagle 白腹山鵰
Mai Po Nature Reserve 米埔自然保護區

Dear all,
Here come another shot of this bird. 648 should have another one which was taken a second before this shot.
I agree with Tung that it is juvenile Imperial Eagle. What do you think? Let's continue to suggest the species. Thanks.

I agree with Tung and Daniel
Why?
The colour of the head and breast is rather creamy and the feathers look shaggy. In my experience Bonellis's is either a darker brown on subadult birds or has clar black underwing coverts on adult birds.
There is also a young Bonelli's Eagle around this winter but there is one very good feature - it has leather jesses on each ankle - it has escaped from a falconer.
It would be great if one of you guys could photograph that bird. I have seen it in the Pond 20 area.
Cheers

A great landing pose of this juvenile Imperial Eagle, Daniel! 
This one is probably the same bird I posted earlier, stretched wings on a tree top, if you remember ...
