By a hood I meant the kind of wind swept look they have

But I think you're right though....it just looked a bit 'neater' than a juv Bat.
Cheers mate.

Young Bateleurs don't have as large a hood as adults, and they can flatten it. Looking at this pic, I'd say the bird could raise something of a hood if it tried. Tawny Eagle is a regular Aquila eagle, but this bird has short legs, long primaries and no tail showing – and it's very front heavy – all of which suit Bateleur.

Thanks for the memories!
You take some nice pics. It's a pleasure to work out the ID on something more than a blurred bush that may or may not contain a bird.
