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 ...

That's a wonderful picture you've taken of this magnificent raptor Aok!!!

I do hope their future is not so bleak as you've suggested - that would be soooo sad.

Many thanks for showing him to us and for the lovely video too.
