Booted Eagles can be seen anywhere in Malaga during the summer and we also have some couples wintering at the mouth of the Guadalhorce. If you saw the eagle north of the water park, it could also be a young Bonelli's Eagle flying from the hills to the north. It is very difficult to say when not used to this local birds and without bins!!Many chances are that you saw a Montagu's on its way to the Strait. It is one of the target species to spot during the migration.Congratulations!!</blockquote>
