Bonelli's Eagle

Bonelli's eagle is a large bird of prey and a medium-sized eagle, 55–74cm long, with a medium-sized head on a fairly long neck, a strong bill, a mid-to-longish tail and exceptionally long, well-feathered legs. The common name commemorates the Italian ornithologist and collector Franco Andrea Bonelli. Adult plumage is obtained between the fourth and later years (Wikipedia, general species account).

It breeds from southern Europe, the montane perimeter of the Sahara, and across the Indian subcontinent to Indonesia, often in hilly or mountainous habitats with rocky walls or crags from sea level to 1,500m. It is usually a resident breeder, and when staple prey populations decline or become scarce it switches to being an opportunistic predator of a wide variety of birds. The source does not describe its status in China (Wikipedia, general species account).
