Eagle feeding on bird
This eagle was found sitting high up a tree, devouring quite a large white feathered bird. We found this sight on a jeep safari in Yala National park when we found a professional wildlife filming crew recording this scene with professional filming equipment. Who knows if we will one day see this scene in a Sri Lankan wildlife documentory

The changeable hawk-eagle or crested hawk-eagle is a bird of prey species of the family Accipitridae. It was formerly placed in the genus "Spizaetus", but studies pointed to the group being paraphyletic resulting in the Old World members being placed in "Nisaetus" and separated from the New World species.
