Nice image of the very rare forest owlet. Rediscovered only in 1997 and occuring in Melghat could not escape Gajanan Bhai's lens. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Lovely sighting. It is nicely framed by the diagonal branch and the curved branch on the top. Good eye contact. Nice to sight it in the open and in good light. Is this a crop? There seems to be some noise in the background. Thanks for sharing.

Nice ...one of the rarest birds in india, on the brink and very little hope.
