A record shot from archives. We witnessed an awesome aerial display by BSK during a weekend birding in Nov last year. We had positioned ourselves flat on the ground to click larks and suddenly this pair appeared trying to lock their talons as part of aerial display. I have read that BSK do this as part of courtship and defending their territory, but this looked more like a play and involved mainly touch and go. That may be because one of them looks to be a Juvenile and this may be a practice for more serious situations later. Would love to know more from experts. Clicked under cloudy conditions. Wish the light was better.
