    Questions on Bird-of-Prey: Tajikistan, September 2024

    Howdy folks, I have another question from my trip to Tajikistan. I had this bird-of-prey fly up while I was in Dushanbe, and I have gotten some mixed feedback on it. The facial pattern initially made me think wester marsh harrier, but then the long tail and overall bulk made me think black...

    Help ID raptor silhouette (video) - Portsmouth, UK

    Video of a raptor riding a thermal this morning. Hovering above town. We normally dont get large raptors in this area. Only the odd sparrowhawk/peregrine falcon. It was flying quite high (video zoomed in 12x on phone camera). I am guessing red kite but need confirmation. Thank you!

    Are there Red Kites near Stansted Airport?

    In November of last year, I drove to Stansted Airport in London to get to Poland. The four hours staring out the window were very productive mostly due to the good weather with three kestrels hovering over the motorway (my first), two buzzards, one flying relatively low over a motorway bridge...

    Rufous-bellied Eagle vs Black Hornbill, Borneo

    A young Rufous-bellied Eagle is stalking a male Black Hornbill. Fortunately, nothing happened. The Black Hornbill made numerous loud calls with his female mate not far away. Soon after, the Black Hornbill flew away, and the Rufous-bellied Eagle remained at the same location until it, too, flew away.
