The greater spotted eagle (Clanga clanga), occasionally just called the spotted eagle, is a large bird of prey. Like all typical eagles, it belongs to the family Accipitridae.
Description
The eagle is 59–71cm (23–28in) in length and has a wingspan of 157–179cm (5.15–5.87ft). Typical body mass is 1.6–2.5kg (3.5–5.5lb), with an occasional big female weighing up to 3.2kg (7.1lb).
There is often a less obvious white patch on the upperwings, but a light crescent on the primary remiges is a good field mark. The white V mark on the rump is less clear-cut in adults than in the lesser spotted eagle (C. pomarina). The juvenile has white spots all over its wings and lacks a lighter nape patch.
The call is a dog-like yip.
Identification
This medium-sized eagle is very similar in general appearance to its closest relative the lesser spotted eagle, which shares part of its range. Head and wing coverts are very dark brown and contrast with the generally medium brown plumage; the lesser spotted eagle has a paler head and wing coverts. The head is small for an eagle. The similarities of the greater spotted to the lesser spotted often results in misidentification as being that species. This is further complicated by occasional hybrids between the two species.

Greater Spotted Eagle, Desert National Park, Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. It is sitting on a Capparis sepiaria bush - caper or dela. Eagles are members of the bird family Accipitridae.Eagle have large size, powerful build, and heavy head and beak. Eagles have very large hooked beaks for tearing flesh from their prey, strong muscular legs, and powerful talons. They also have extremely keen eyesight which enables them to spot potential prey from a very long distance. Eagles have such keen eyesight because of their extremely large pupils which ensure minimal diffraction (scattering) of the incoming light. Eagles build their nests, called eyries, in tall trees or on high cliffs.
