Hi and Help

I live in central Portugal and have the absolute pleasure of watching and listening to the familly of eagles that nest somewhere in the woods on the edge of my land. I am new to bird watching, but from a photo I took showing wing markings i thought it was a Short Toed Eagle. From todays photo a friend thinks it is a Booted Eagle. I will post photos when I can work out how. The eagles are VERY vocal. Dont know if this helps.
Thanks
I will now look at how to post photos!

Hi Binoman and a warm welcome to you on behalf of the Staff and Moderators.

I'm sure we can sort out which bird it is you have on your land; any pictures would be best posted in the ID forum where our resident geniuses hang out.

If you need any help with posting the pictures, please don't be afraid to ask.
