Aegypius monachus

Winters:
s to nw,ne Africa, Arabia, c India, se China, Taiwan and Ryukyu Is.

Circaetus gallicus
Savanna, thornbush, desert, steppes, open forest.

There is evidence (including mixed pairings in various combinations) that beaudouini and pectoralis are conspecific with C. gallicus, but also opinions that C. pectoralis should be treated as a separate species, as in Sibley and Monroe (1990). Dowsett and Dowsett-Lemaire (1993, p. 326) argued for the inclusion of pectoralis as a race of C. gallicus, while urging "... that more field evidence is highly desirable." The following arrangement follows Dowsett and Forbes-Watson (1993).

C. g. gallicus. Locally in Palearctic and s Asia from s Europe (n to c France, Switzerland, E. Germany and Estonia) e across nw,c Russia to Kazakhstan, Turkestan, Kirghiz steppes, Mongolia and n China (w Inner Mongolia, probably sw Kansu and Hopeh), and s to Mediterranean region (incl. Sardinia, Corsica and Sicily), nw Africa (from Morocco to Tunisia),
n Libya, Turkey, Near East, ne Egypt (Nile delta), Oman, Iran, Turkestan, Tadzhikistan, Kazakhstan (except Himalayas s of Kirghiz steppes), Pakistan and India (lowlands to 1000 m, incl. Nepal but absent Assam); Lesser Sunda Is. of Lombok, Sumbawa, Flores, Roti and Timor.
Winters in Africa mainly north of the Equator.

BEAUDOUIN'S SNAKE-EAGLE.

Africa. Breeding confirmed in Sudan, Somalia, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa.

Circus aeruginosus
Swamps, marsh, rice paddies, reed beds.

C. aeruginosus and C. spilonotus hybridize in western Siberia and are considered conspecific by some authors, and the allopatric C. ranivorus,
C. approximans and C. maillardi are also sometimes treated as conspecific with C. aeruginosus.
