Summary[edit]

Description

A large bird of prey that migrates from Europe and Central Asia to India during winters. These harriers roost communally in numbers ranging from 10 to 50 or even more. Montagu's were hard to see late last year, but they are seen reasonably easy this year. We sighted several of these birds along with the males which are more beautiful and majestic.

The birds were roosting in a large grassland and had the common of a large number of Blackbuck antelopes.

It took quite a bit of patience to slow go close in our vehicle and take a shot from the distance. Some of them like the Pallid Male didn't give a chance, but the Montagu's was quite comfortable.

Many thanks in advance for your views and feedback.
