Well this is a fantastic image! Nice work Amir.

I was wondering how safely this bird can be identified as a first-cycle of the African form and not the Asian form? Is it certain that the Asian form always shows the dark secondaries from the underside? What other features are suggestive of the African form?


Just asking questions..as always.


Best,


James
