Raptor - 55 (Ictinaetus malaiensis)

Raptor - 55

Not a good image ... but
a lifer ... and the
last image of this
Eagle came in 2015 ...

He was very high ... far
away ... and drifting
further ...

With size upto 80 cm
and wingspan close
to 6 feet (182 cm.)

... Black Eagle is a
medium-large Raptor ...

Found in the hilly
terrain forest ... in
Himalayas ... western
Ghats ... central
and eastern parts of
India ...
... moves to lower
altitudes in winter ...

Watch the less frequently
sighted Raptor in a
video-clip ... that
I'll upload on BFTv soon
as it becomes functional ...
