(delhibirdpix) Re: [delhibird] Teams - Big Bird Day - 5th Feb

Once I have the full list then we will work out the car pool. The Dadri list is also attached

I am attaching the list of the people who have confirmed their names for the party. The number is very low and I expect a much better response from the birders. This happens once a year and gives a chance to link the names that you see in the mail to the person at the party. So lets get moving I need to finalise the names so that the arrangement can be made.

The cost also has been kept resonable

I tend to think this is an Imperial Eagle (Aquila heliaca), because of
the long, narrow, mostly even-width wings with a slightly narrower hand,
plus the overall dark plumage with a powerful, apparently paler head.
But I am by no means certain from these photos, it's just a guess.

Do you have any other photographs from other angles, no matter how bad?
(If you have any of the bird flying directly towards or away from you,
they may be useful.)

(delhibirdpix) Lark id please - Sultanpur Flats Archive Shot

The bone-cold winter Delhi mornings tend to turn the weak-willed like
me into an armchair birders, and digging into archive shots while
sipping that hot cup of coffee seems like the next best thing to going
out.

I shot this one almost two years back at Sultanpur Flats.
Unfortunately, these back shots are all I have - no front shots or
side-shots.

I was thinking Bimaculated or greater short-toed, but the lack of
side-shots makes it very difficult to pinpoint clinching id features
as present in the field guides.

Well, not sure that I would have fared better with those angles being
available, but at least I tried ;-)

Could the experts kindly help?
