I saw what I thought was a raptor at some distance today and snapped off a few shots in the hope they could help with an ID.
Here's the photo. And before I go clouding judgments and letting you know what I think it is... I'd like some expert opinions...
It's a lame photo but some features are quite discernible.
Maybe a big call from this photo but I'll go with Little Eagle (adult light morph)

That's the answer I was hoping for!
Little eagles are extremely rare in the Valley. One sighting was recorded in 1990!
But we are seeing lots of new visitors since a colony of GHFF moved in (Powerful Owls and Sea Eagles included) so its not outside the realms of possibility that this was a Little Eagle.
My Simpson and Day has me convinced.
