Dave Bishop posted the following note on SA Birdnet yesterday about a mystery raptor photographed by Carlene Kidwell in Durban:

Hi all – I had an email with an ID request from Carlene Kidwell who is in the Highway area of Durban, which was accompanied by a poor photo. The nearest I could come up with is Ayres which would be unusual here though I seem to recall a recent sighting somewhere in the vicinity.

Here’s Carlene’s photo:

Dave mentioned that the consensus is that it’s a sub-adult Crowned Eagle, with which I agree.

Thanks Dave and Carlene.
