RAPTOR & ACCIPITER 19/35 - Crested Serpent Eagle

 
I was on the way back to Ipoh for a holiday and the family and I came across this raptor perched on the lamp post. Grab the EF70-300mm IS and shot it. Did not let me get close and it flew away the instance it feel threatened.

Crested Serpent Eagle is very common in lowland and hill forest soaring over forest and open country hunting reptiles and small mammals and pigeons. When soaring the wings like a Wau with a distinct white band

  1. Thanks for getting these pictures, I just saw 3 soaring together near Jalan Ipoh in KL and had to know what I was observing-- such beautiful wings from below!
