My birds of prey photos

[LK_Nature_Photography]

I opened this thread so I can put my photos in this one place, I don´t want to open a new thread every time I shoot some good images of birds of prey. I´m new here, and I need an opinion from you if it's a good idea to do so or...

I took this image on March 30, 2018
I waited 3 days on a hillside, average waiting time was around 5 hours per day
So, these are the new pictures:

Each one of these beautiful birds are just stunning, great set of shots and I look forward to seeing more as & when you add them.

Agree with above. All three images are great.

If you want your own thread, have your own thread. Whatever makes it easy for you.

These are my favorite, I like their swallowtail, their grey head, and the reddish brownish body with black dots... It´s beautiful! It´s endemic to northern parts of Africa and Europe.

Thank you guys these are my best images so far, I was so happy! I have some images of the red kite but not so sharp, I was at a good spot that day.

I shoot this bird in the dark, it was after 20h and I don´t know which kind is it... Please, can you help me identify it? The pictures quality is not good because I had to raise the ISO up to 3200. Is it Clanga pomarina?

Not familiar with European birds but I'm pretty sure a Greater Spotted Eagle.

Yeah, that is the only kind it is similar or looks like it. Thanks for the help.

The feathers on the legs are different. I was researching and I found out that it could be a Circus aeruginosus, the feathers on the top of his head is darker than it should be, maybe it's because it's a jung bird.
