Request for Martial Eagle flight profile please?. (1 Viewer)

I hope someone out there can email me, or post a flight shot from below of a Martial Eagle.
It will be used as a template on a large kite to be used for teaching Vervet monkeys to be afraid of Martial Eagle shaped kites|=)| prior to being released into the wild. Its a project my son ( 2nd year Zoology student ) will be working on this summer in Zambia. He will hopefully use this project for his finals.

Many thanks in anticipation

Alan
 
At work at the moment but I have a few flight shots at home -perhaps a little distant but can be readily blown-up for a soaring flight profile. May be useful if nobody else responds to your request.
I'll post them this evening whilst watching Italy grind a 1:0 victory over the Ukraine (after 6 red cards!!).
 
Hi Alan,
3 images of immature Martial Eagle.

4 images of (almost) adult Martial Eagle. Hope the images will be of use.

All the images were taken from Mandina lodges Swimming Pool, Makasutu in The Gambia. -What a place, the difficulty in getting images was dependent on how quickly you could put down the cold beer & pick up the camera!
Cheers,
Steve

Many thanks.
If we can't get a kite already made with the required outline ( currently in contact with an African kite manufacturer ) we will use your third picture of your immature if thats O.K. with you?.

Many thanks again Steve

Feel free to use any of the images. Hope it works out one way or another.
Best wishes,
