Changeable Hawk Eagle - Spizactus sirrhatus, Vakari, Batticaloa, Sri Lanka.

This bird was feeding on some chicks on a bird's nest, by the roadside. It flew up and took refuge on a Palmyra tree, on the approach of our car. I took these shots with the camera hand-held, using a 70-300 Nikkor zoom lens with VR on on my Nikon D90.
