Nice take off pose. Good eye contact. This place is quite dominated by kites. It can seen they are dominating all these other raptors. Nice composition. Thanks for sharing.

Nice to see this. I hope Hessarghatta's grasslands are protected. I agree that the focus is off. With a small lens it becomes difficult to focus things at a distance. Even when you focus on the bird and wait for the bird to take off, when you click the focus would already be behind the point where the flying bird is.
