Summary

[edit]
Description

Shot this on the edge of a forest on a bare tree. The Shikra was patient and was perched for almost 20 minutes surprisingly. I didn't think much of it then. But realized later that she had a tree shrew on a nearby tree in her sight and after around 5-10 minutes dived, caught it and headed back to another tree. I couldn't get any shot due to blockages, but that was an interesting incident to see.

These are small sized raptors seen throughout the year and pretty common in the countryside. They are known for their ferocious attacks on smaller birds and rodents.

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback.
