These raptors are difficult to identify - what did you use to identify this as the Lesser Spotted Eagle? Posted 7 years ago

  I am using 2 field guides - one Bulgarian and Collins. Also, I was with one of the best Bulgarian ornithologists, co- author of the Bulgarian field guide, L. Profirov. We spent together 2
  days in this nature reserve. Posted 7 years ago

The Lesser spotted eagle

The lesser spotted eagle is a large Eastern European 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 heavy-set Accipitridae, but more recently it appears as if they are less distinct from the more slender accipitrine hawks than believed.
