ORIENTAL HONEY-BUZZARD (Dark Morph)



Recently seen at the Tanjung Aru Beach area. I took this picture while the bird being attack by White-breasted Woodswallow.
Probably this is the first record of this bird migrate to borneo. I not really sure how long this bird going to stay here.

This is a digiscoped picture
