Observation details
Seen in flight when arriving to Ilheu Chão, then seen again above the island, flew away to Deserta Grande Here is a short description of the bird : big size, large wings and short tail, not a good view of the details of the underparts (so not able to precise the age) but general pattern of a pandion haliaeetus, seen in flight over the sea and ilheu Chão. White coloration well seen under the wings, with darker marks/stripes. While circling, the brownish pattern of the upper parts of the wings is well seen. I can also add (but it is not a proof) that I have a good experience of the ID of pandion haliaeetus in France, especially in migration. ID confirmed by SPEA biologist Ana Teresa Pereira, the national parks wardens and me.
