    Falco sp., Masai Mara, June 2024

    Can this raptor be identified? Is the only photo I've got. A couple of minutes earlier in that area (maybe 500m away) I saw a Grey Kestrel.

    Riparia sp., Masai Mara, 27 aug 2024

    Sorry for the quality of the images, they were taken at noon so pretty strong heat haze. I hope I'm not wrong about the genus.

    2 eagles from Kruger Park South Africa

    2 eagles from Kruger National Park end November 2022 I'm in doubt with. The first one being a young martial perhaps. Long tailed pale eagle with darkish flight feathers. It just seems a bit off, but since Crowned is the only other option for being a bit similar, it's making me a bit confused...
