For the past couple of weeks i am trying to get a decent shot of Raptors in Hong Kong but so far no luck, mainly due to weather and long range, i managed to get couple of shots but not very good quality, all these shots were taken from very long distance using 1.4 and 2x TCs.

This was when sun came out for short while but the Greater Spotted Eagle was very far away.

This was my luck when i was trying to get a decent shot of above two raptors i saw something far away new coming towards my hide out and right before that sun came out for a short while and what i got was While Bellied Sea Eagle.

I love that long distance Eastern Marsh Harrier shot and the last one in particular, but a wonderful series all around. Good work, Akhan!
