Changeable Hawk Eagle at Raub Golf Course

Yen visited me last Sunday, so I showed him my 'backyard' - the nesting Baya Waver.
While we were photographing the Baya Weaver with nesting material, a loud bird call coming for the tall tree.

This is a tough subject to get close to except in the forests.

Thanks ALL for your comments.

Yes good question Chris.
The reason for the name Changeable Hawk-Eagle is due to the dual morph phases - a dark morph and a pale morph.
I catch the dark morph here.
