Changeable hawk eagle – Juv

Changeable hawk eagle – Juv A juvenile changeable hawk eagle. This was perched right by the safari / game drive route. It was busy scanning the prey, the evening light was divine. The bird was very comfortable with our presence as can be seen in the picture – resting in one leg. This is a sign of the bird resting to conserve energy.

Lesser Coucal

Lesser Coucal Another bird that is least concern as per IUCN. We were scanning for tigers in Bijrani where we sighted this. A sulker to get in the open was pure luck.

Hill Partridge

Hill Partridge The common or necklaced hill-partridge is a species of bird in the pheasant family that is found in Asia. We were proceeding from Pangot early in the morning to look for Cheer Pheasant and on the way we found this little one foraging by the road side. All we got was a couple of clicks and the bird ran away into the bushes and then to the valley. It was a wonderful sighting and the early morning light added to the beauty.
