The Tawny Eagle, Aquila rapax, is a large bird of prey. It is about 62–72 cm in length and has a wingspan of 165–185cm. Like all eagles, it belongs to the family Accipitridae. It was once considered to be closely related to the migratory Steppe Eagle, Aquila nipalensis, and the two forms have previously been treated as conspecific. They were split based on pronounced differences in morphology and anatomy (Clark, 1992; Olson, 1994; Sangsteret al., 2002); molecular analysis[citation needed] indicates that these birds are not even each other's closest relatives.

This was shot at Hessargatta lake bund last sunday, though for 300mm it was quite far, have done cropping to get little decent picture.Trust you like it. It is exciting to shoot raptors.They look so majestic.

I just post processed it by little sharpening and levels in photoshop and to remove the noise I used the neat image free. Hope you will like.
