New Neighbours

Recently I have noticed a couple of raptors hanging around on a tree outside our apartment window. A bit of searching with the binoculars revealed a nest. Quite big it is too. It must have taken some effort to get such big branches up there. Not exactly tidy builders, stick a bit here, poke a bit in there sort of approach to nest building. I wonder how many branches did not stay in place and returned to the ground?

Sorry for the picture quality. My zoom lens is not up to the job and the atmosphere is always very hazy. Not like the crisp Mongolian atmosphere. Excuses, excuses. Tried to enhance just the bird, not worked particularly well though. Anyway, seems like there are now eggs in the nest as one of the two birds is always at there. I think they are sea eagles. Big beggars, anyway. Mate for life apparently. Will update as things develop.
