Please may I seek advice.
I was tracking a BOP with the camera in burst mode, and later on, noticed the images had 2 birds present, not one. There seems to be a bird with pale underparts and a darker bird (although lighting conditions aren't that good). One of the birds subsquently landed and perched a good distance away, and I could no longer see the other one. I am fairly confident (ish) the perched bird is a Bonelli's Eagle. I suspect the other one is too. However I would be grateful for comments please, as this trip was my first encounter with eagles and I am not confident with them. I was wondering if the seemingly darker bird is also a Bonelli's Eagle? I do apologize for the poor image quality due to heavy cropping and heat haze.
