unknown eagle

[Martin Brazil]

I'm not sure about this chappy, maybe its a juvenile which is why the colouration does not match up to anything in my books.

It looks like some kind of Harrier to me. (slender body/longtail)
Nice shots Martin.

[Loupey]

I have no idea on the identification. But it sure is a beautiful raptor.

I read your nightmare repair issues - I'm glad it has been resolved and that your back to shooting.

[Martin Brazil]

Thanks a lot Loupey, it was a nightmare and its good to be back in business.

The 2nd pic is one fab shot.

Great shots, fabulous lighting!!!

If you ask me, I'd say some type of falcon?

[mn shutterbug]

I'd agree with some sort of falcon. Whatever, you done good on them.

Hi Martin,

I just started googling around... this looks like it could be the same bird: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow-headed_Caracara

Another picture of a Yellow Headed Caracara that really looks like its your capture:

And I must take a moment to say that the Caracara is a wonderfully named bird :P
