Little Eagles at Mt Ainslie

[Julian Robinson <>]

While there is Little Eagle discussion...

Wandering the south Ainslie/CampbellPark area on Monday looking at
Lindsay's owlet-nightjar, I saw two little eagles above the CP offices
for some time.  I didn't have binoculars at that time, so took
photos and was getting a bit confused as to whether it was a pair of
little eagles, or a little eagle and something else since they were v
different.  Looking at the photos I am sure one was a light morph
LE, and it seems the other was a dark morph.  My questions are - 1)
can someone confirm the ID of the darker bird (top photos), 2) do the
different morphs usually travel together? (i.e. do they mix and breed
freely, or are they intolerant of skin colour difference), 3) is one
morph more common than the other around Canberra?
