Spotted
The Indian Spotted Eagle is a medium-sized eagle found in the Indian subcontinent, closely related to other spotted eagles but recognized as a distinct species. It is primarily a raptor of wetlands and open woodlands.
Where to spot
Open woodlands, wetlands, savannas, and cultivated areas across parts of India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Myanmar.
How to spot
Look for its medium size, overall brown plumage (often with pale spotting, especially in younger birds), and a relatively small head with a wide gape. Its calls can help differentiate it from similar species in its range.
When to spot
Year-round, active during daylight. Often seen near water bodies or perched in trees overlooking open areas, especially during cooler parts of the day.

It was formerly considered a subspecies of the Greater Spotted Eagle but differs in morphology, genetics, and vocalizations, leading to its reclassification as a full species.
