Nice image. Fine composition. I always like to see them in their habitat as it enables me to stretch my imagination.Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Nice perch. I liked the eye contact. Was the image underexposed? Pulling up the shadows can make the outline look edged. Thanks for sharing.

Nice to see a Shikra. A small but powerful bird of prey that is often found in parks in urban areas as well. Apart from pariah kite and vultures, this is the first bird of prey that I came to identify during my childhood days. Its talons and its sharp curved beak gives an idea of what it is capable. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
