The Tawny Eagle

Dr Somdutt Prasad18 May, 2018Travel

This bird of prey (Aquila Rapax) is found in most of Africa, Southwestern Asia to India. It is closely related to the migratory steppe eagle (Aquila nipalensis), but is not actually a migratory bird, preferring to stay resident, favouring open dry habitats such as desert, semidesert, steppes, or savannah plains. I was lucky to catch some good views of this large bird during my recent trip to Kenya.
