When I took this photograph, I had no idea that I have seen the rare Pied Harrier which I actually went to see on that day. Unfortunately this was from a far away distance and the photo quality is bad.

 

The big fellow in this encounter is a juvenile White-bellied Sea-Eagle. Smaller one is the Pied Harrier who may be a juvenile itself.
