Sirkeer Malkoha at Vikarabad district.

[Vineet Shrivastava]

Nikon P900 , 1/500 , F6.3 , ISO 280. Almost full frame, just cropped a bit from the bottom to bring the bird front. Basic pp in Lightroom.

Clicked on 26th July, 2020 at Damagundem reserve forest , Vikarabad district.
We had visited this place to sight the Painted Francolin. Luckily, the day became even better as we sighted the Sirkeer Malkoha and the Blue - faced Malkoha in addition to the Painted Francolin.
I remember my dad posting a thread about the creation of a navy base at this place. Fortunately, this is not done yet. But the area is being destroyed due to the creation of plots and farmhouses. In addition to this many films are being shooted at this place, causing even more disturbance to wildlife.
