Observation details
Small-headed, long-tailed eagle. Head projection around half of tail length. Golden nape. White at base of tail feathers and base of retailed juvenile outer secondaries and inner primaries. Dark axillaries. Slight dihedral V in flight. A sub-adult with some retained juvenile flight feathers, but many replaced, so older than first-cycle. Photos. Slowly circled and rose up on a thermal, then glided away heading southwest, perhaps a bird migrating.
