Camilo Roman Valdez LorenzoFeb 1, 2019thanks Tommy. It was close to the Al Qudra lake, I walked to some dunes behind and saw it sitting on top of a dune
Tommy PedersenFeb 2, 2019It is, Peter. I was tricked by the pale colouring. So, possibly of the fulvescens colour morph?
Camilo Roman Valdez LorenzoFeb 2, 2019Ok Peter, thanks for the feedback. I initially thought too it could be a GSE but the white tips on wings confused me. What are the key features made you conclude it was a GSE and not a SE?

Well done. Not many records in the UAE each year
Sorry, it's a Greater Spotted Eagle!
