Not "Independence Day" yet for this juvenile Bonelli's with attendant adult over Hang Tau this morning

ID MK IV + 800mm lens (rather distant birds !)

Very nice John!

Good to see breeding success of this top raptor!
Cheers

I think the moult in the primaries/secondaries and the developing black underwing bar indicate this is not a juvenile from this year - presumably it's one or two years old.

Always nice birds to see though!

Dear John,

You can always take good photos even from a far far distance. No wonder you have so many "fans" from both Hong Kong and Mainland China. How enviable!!!!

Hi Christine,

Thanks for your encouragement !

In this hot summer weather, I don't want to carry the heavy camera any further than the rooftop...

It's nice to share pictures now from Hong Kong or farther away, but I'm looking forward to Autumn.
