Bay backed Shrike

The shrikes are lovely posers, they perch right on top of the twings, shrubs and give a clear view, however they are the toughest to approach to make an image. This was one such occasion when the bird cooperated to make an image but still further away to my liking. These are residents of the scrub lands and grasslands, feeding on insects and other small worms etc. Sometimes they are known to impale the prey on a sharp object like a thorn before devouring them.

Changeable hawk-eagle – Attitude

The stare , the look and attitude of a bold raptor, that’s what we saw with this individual. As with the tradition whenever we have seen a CHE perched in the open like this we have always spotted a tiger next. We did see the tiger tank female’s cubs after seeing this individual :-). A medium sized raptor that is seen in the southern and southeast Asian forests. This prefers well wooded areas sitting in the open branches under the forest canopy scanning for prey. The reason for the name changeable is because the occurrence of more than one form / morph of the bird. This eagle feeds on a variety of prey that includes birds, mammals, snakes and lizards. One of the most widespread and common Asiatic hawk-eagle species, their status is classified as least concern by IUCN.
