Pacific Baza (Aviceda subcristata) !! I just added that to try and sound like I knew what I was talking about ... ashamed to admit I'd never even heard of one until I saw your post so had to look it up in my bird book & have a read. What a stunning bird. Great capture, lucky you!
Gorgeous looking birds aren't they . I have not had the opportunity to photogragh one of these yet !!!!!!! You are very lucky .

Yer i was very lucky they were the only ones i seen on my trip . A car nearly ran into me cause i pulled up so fast
Beautiful photos! I have just managed to get some shots of some Bazas; so am very happy
Well done!
Beautiful shots of a beautiful bird.
I love these birds, though I have only seen them very rarely.

Wow, fantastic photos, they are really nice. I especially like the second one.
Jealous that you saw them, I love Baza's too, but I never see any... Ah well, just another thing on the hit list...
what a great photo opportunity

Great shots. I love these birds. There is a pair that live in my neighbourhood and I hear them calling daily at the moment. Maybe breeding season.

Great photos, and another magnificent, beautiful raptor. :)
I saw a pair at Daisy Hill Forest a few months ago, but I only saw them the one time, and they were ridiculously high up in a tree.
