Oriental Honey Buzzard (OHB) - Dark Morph

Once the MCO been re-categorised as CMCO (Conditional Movement Control Order) recently, I immediately set out to breath the fresh forest air. But the current bone-dry weather certainly makes the entire place looks like some autumn season here.




As I was walking towards the jungle path, I saw the silhouettes of two eagles flying at a distance. I quickly took some record shots and they turned out to be OHBs (Dark Morph). 

They were both circling close to each other.


The above OHB appears like having a gun shot to its wings.



They are certainly not a resident OHB.



Most likely they are looking for some prey for breakfast.



Both of them were reported to be adult male.

 


Here is a comparison between an OHB and a CSE

                                 
                                                                                                                                                                     
                     
                                                              

DON’T EXPECT EVERYONE

TO UNDERSTAND YOUR JOURNEY,

ESPECIALLY IF THEY’VE NEVER

WALK YOUR PATH !!
