Lovely shot. Which days in Dec were you in Dhikala. I was there between 18 Dec 2015 to 2nd Jan 2016
Lovely sighting. Good eye contact and catchlight on the eye. Seems there are some loss of details. Thanks for sharing.
Nice to see this species...smallest among the raptors found in India.

Thanks all, Debasis, I went between 9-11th of Dec...
Great capture of an elusive raptor.Lovely eye contact.Such beautiful colours!Thanks for sharing.
A rare sighting , TFS.
Nice. This is not an easy bird to shoot. Agree about the detail loss - is this cropped and then run through a NR tool? If this is not a full frame image, I would prefer some more space all around. I feel that with birds like this one, the small size is worth emphasizing in a photograph, so including a bit of vegetation etc to show the scale works wonders.
Ahhh. So cute. I agree with Abhishek. It is better that you give us a less cropped image. That will help us to see it in its habitat. Thanks for sharing.
