The Shikra is a small bird of prey found in Indian sub-continent. Small birds usually dive through foliage to avoid a Shikra. The flight is typical with flaps and glides. It catches his prey through a great speed and accuracy.
It is found that an Indian Navy's helicopter base was named INS Shikra in 2009.

You shouldn't cave in to temptation of imitating images clicked with a telephoto lens. You will invariably end up with large crops and soft image. The bird looks tightly fit here. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
