After taking few record shots, I had plans of approaching the bird for better shots but unfortunately a black kite came in and chased this guy away

Thanks for viewing and please do pass on your C&C.

Beautiful image of this rare species. Details look good. Light seems to be bit harsh though. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely image Prashant, you have been extremely lucky to find all these rare species at Hessarghatta. I hope you can find one in open on a mound next time.

Nice to see this rare species. Good eye contact. Wish the shadow was not falling on the eye, but that is not in your control. Thanks for sharing.

[Bhargava Srivari]

Nice that you got this bird in Bengaluru. I'm sure you'll get better images soon

This is a nice image. I like the eye contact. Unfortunately, there is a shadow falling on the eye, still the catchlight is visible and looks nice. Wish you were closer.

Cheers,
