Nice take-off pose captured. The different blues look nice. Was this photographed this weekend? How is the sighting there now, are the birds still there? Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Mrudul for the comments... yes this is from this weekend...

i saw Pallid Harrier but could not get the image.... apart from that so many kestrels were there and Rollers and Tawny Eagles.

Take off pose is nice. The downstroke of the wings is nice. The focus still looks to be locked off on the tree.

In LRK, I saw a disturbing tendency. The Rann Riders driver purposefully got down from the vehicle so that the eagle gets disturbed and fly away with the photographer ready to try a flight shot. Photography should not be at the cost of the welfare of the subject.

Nice pose of the roller, Sucheth. The wing reminds me of the japanese fans that are held by women wearing kimonos :). Thanks for sharing.
