With the excellent weather we have been having around Delhi these last few days, I spent about an hour strolling on my terrace and taking in the sun.
This fairly large raptor flew directly overhead and I noticed that it was a little unusual. I rushed downstairs to get my camera and by the time I was back the raptor had moved further away, but luckily it was circling. Took a few quick shots before it was too far and out of sight.
Size seems somewhat larger than a Black Kite
Tail is quite short and rounded
The fingers at the wing tips seem shorter than that of Steppe Eagle
Though I am not very familiar with Aquila eagles I think it could be juvenile Tawny. Requesting opinions of others on the ID
(Please excuse the poor quality of pics...they are all heavy crops)
