I believe this was an immature greater spotted eagle.
Location: Lake Langano, Rift Valley, Ethiopia
Environment: Circling at the cliff edge between the dry acacia scrubland and lake edge
Time: about 9am, Dec. 31 2022
Fieldmarks: spotting and lighter rump can be seen from top view, lighter vent from bottom view. Hard to gauge from the distance, but size seemed appropriate. No voice observed; nostril shape not observed.
Reservations: In the photos the tail is being held very close and quite long, however in observation it was also seen spread and seemed typical of GSE.
