Red-necked falcon - in Rollapadu, A. P.

[Subhash Shrivastava]

Canon SX60 HS, 1/500, f/6.5, 247 mm, ISO-100. Basic PP in GIMP.
Clicked in Rollapadu WLS on 14th Aug, 2016.

It was a follow up visit to Rollapadu for ½ a day in search of Floricans. Floricans gave us a miss, but we were happy to sight a couple of Foxes in their playful best. While calling it a day, just before the exit we spotted this Falcon.

Nice sighting. Agree a vertical composition would also have worked well here. Did you get to click the foxes? Look forward to see those images. Thanks for sharing.

Dear Sabya, Mangru, Sakti da, Mrudul and Shyamala. Thanks for viewing and sharing your views.

Sabya sir, I could not click a vertical Compo.

Mrudul ma'am, Yes I and my kid clicked images of Foxes, standing squatting. It was over 15 mins before they went away due to stray dogs. It was outside the WLS area.

Shyamala ma'am, I had a the second sighting a month back, in July16, almost at the same place when I went alone and stayed for 3 days in FRH to spot the GIB. The first sighting was 3 years back just 50 Kms away for H'bad. Thanks for remembering it's a big reward for me .
