Very poor photos of raptor from Sumaco, Napo, Ecuador 3/26/2024
Apologies for the poor photos, but this is all I have to work with. My best guess is Short-Tailed Hawk. Any and all help is very much appreciated.- Itspartypete

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!- WildTotarda

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!- Tom St
