Winter - 59 (Aquila nipalensis)

Raptor - 6

Another fabulous
winter visitor ...

A huge Aquila or
the 'True Eagle' as
they are called ...

... but soon this ' Close-knit '
group is likely to see
a lot of Taxonomic changes
as they are studied
in depth ... and, of-course
... if we do not force
them to extinction ...

The Steppe Eagle

IUCN Category -
Threatened > Vulnureble

Looks bigger
than an average
Rhesus Macaque in the
field ...

Here's a video-clip showing
this individual on a high
pylon ...
