A few pictures of raptors. I am not certain about my ID's.....
1 long-legged Buzzard (Bharatpur in Northern India)
2 Greater Spotted Eagle (same location)
3 Steppe Eagle (same location)
4 Tawny Eagle (Bandipur in Southern India)

I have some more pictures of the last bird if necessary (sitting in a tree).

Best regards, Alex

I don't know about the others, but would have thought that the first one was a male Marsh Harrier? Though, I don't know where the transition point is for whether it would be an Eastern or Western.

The first is indeed a Marsh Harrier.
