[Harrisii]

i think roel birds got most right upto now.

what?? and he only answered 4????
maybe you havent seen my post....lol.

[Roel_Birds]

I am pretty sure about the 4 I answered but the second one puzzles me. My first impression was bicoloured hawk but I rather think it is some kind of buteo, don't know the species yet. I guess: Buteo solitarius of a special morf of Buteo buteo.

[NGuruve]

so far the correct answers are gymogene, red backed hawk and bonelli's eagle

[NGuruve]

a clue is the second hawk is a juvinile and the last is a very large bird not showed so well in this picture

[ChakChek]

1) red backed buzzard
2)hawian hawk
3)bonellis eagle
4)gymogene
5)Black solitary eagle

[Talon]

what?? and he only answered 4????
maybe you havent seen my post....lol.

sorry m8....your right .but no 4 is a Gymnogene so could be a draw.

[NGuruve]

haha well done chackcheck you got them all thought i had you all confused

[NGuruve]

ok then bird brains ive put some thought into this one and im sure this one wont be so easy

[Roel_Birds]

Hawaian hawk is the same as Buteo solitarius.

[ChakChek]

Hawaian hawk is the same as Buteo solitarius.

well not all of us speak fluent latin im afraid ;) sorry pal

[NGuruve]

sorry didnt know the latin

[Roel_Birds]

African goshawk
Guyana crested eagle
Newzeeland falcon
Hen harrier
Wedgetailed eagle

[NGuruve]

flippin heck man well done all of them right apart from one but im not going to tell you which one

[Roel_Birds]

Is it a male Montagu's harrier? I can't see the underparts on the picture.

[NGuruve]

haha sorry close but no cookie

[Roel_Birds]

I thought so. It must be the wedgetailed eagle that is foult. The picture is a poor quality and it is difficult to judge the size. Imperial eagle?

[NGuruve]

haha no you are actually right the wrong one was the harrier and its a pallid harrier but well done anyways wasnt expecting them to be that easy

[Roel_Birds]

The males of Pallid harrier, hen harrier and Montagu's harrier are indeed hard to tell apart. Centainly on a picture.
Bring on the next lot!

[Talon]

give that man a cigar.

[NGuruve]

haha sorry he deserves one but i wont haha but he sure does know his birds
