Changeable Hawk-eagle

 An uncommon visitor to the taman, creating a ruckus among the resident birds, to finally reveal itself up the tree canopy.

The Changeable Hawk-eagle is more commonly sighted, often heard in the bukit.

Its take-off amidst the foliage was as usual amazingly quiet and smooth.
