  1. Stunning find, Jivko! And very well captured. Posted 7 years ago
    1. Thank you, Ferdy! High in the sky. I had to react in a couple of seconds. Not the best photo, but still acceptable. Posted 7 years ago
      1. I think it's a great photo. In these situations I often face a white sky issue, yours is beautiful. The bird itself is also well lit, showing a lot of detail. Posted 7 years ago

The Greater Spotted Eagle is a large bird of prey. Like all typical eagles, it belongs to the family Accipitridae. The typical eagles are often united with the buteos, sea eagles and other more heaviset Accipitridae, but it appears as if they are less distinct from the more slender accipitrine hawks than believed.
