    Raptor in Thailand--Khao Yai NP

    I initially IDed this as Oriental Honey-buzzard. Upon revisiting the photos, I am wondering if this isn't a Crested Serpent-eagle instead. Bird observed in Khao Yai National Park on 2nd November 2022. Thanks for your help!

    My first time seeing Crested Serpent Eagle expanding its crest then shake its body. What it is doing? Regulating body temperature?

    Oriental Honey Buzzard? (Singapore)

    Hi, Is this the Oriental Honey Buzzard, or is there a chance that it is the Crested Serpent Eagle, which has been observed in the area recently too (and suggested by Merlin)? How do I tell them apart based on the wing patterns? Thank you!

    Attack on Crested Serpent Eagle

    An unknown small bird made a sudden dive bomb on a Crested Serpent Eagle and the reaction of the eagle are hilarious. It is obvious she is in shock. This happens in a morning somewhere in Sibu, Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo. I am lucky enough to be on the location and filming her. Hope you will...
