some one said its not the Yellow-billed kite Milvus aegyptius! but the yellow billed kite is not in the birds of Egypt book and that is how I name the birds, I am not a professional by no means all I do is enjoy what I do and share the photos. the book also says that only a professional will know the difference in some species.
coloration depends on sunlight and shade Etc there is one bird here that looks exactly like a female sparrow
not until its in the sun can you tell the difference. so thanks to
Antón Pérez. madrid spain for naming the kite and a few other birds I got wrong,

Good shots! Huge wing span.
Nice blog and appealing species! Congratulations!
But your "pomarina" eagle is actually a yellow-billed kite Milvus aegyptius!
There are no yellow-billed kite Milvus aegyptius! in Egypt especially down in the Nile valley.
So, either you've taken that picture elsewhere or you've seen the first one...
not realy bothered which one it is I go by the book I am not a pro on birds and like most learned people they refer to books. the mulvus is not in my book of birds of Egypt.
