A passage migrant to India that is seen for maybe a month and half during Sep/Oct. This roller migrates from Europe / Central Asia to Africa and the vast majority of birds cross the Mediterranean I believe and make way down South. But the ones from Central Asia / Iran / Pakistan, make their way to India, rest there for a short while, gather energy and then fly to Africa over the Arabian Sea flying a couple of days non-stop. Wikipedia notes a record of a European Roller in a plane hit over the Arabian Sea. The behaviour is similar to the Common Cuckoo which also has a similar migratory pattern.
I was trying to get a decent shot of the bird for over 3 years and finally was able to some fantastic shots. The bird was very cooperative and gave us a lot of time. It suddenly landed on this perch very close to us, and when it took off quickly, I missed most of the flight, but managed to grab a few 8K shots like this one.
Thanks for all your views and feedback - much appreciated.
A large majestic raptor commonly found around forest areas. This was sighted in the forest area near a temple - under the canopy getting drenched in the light rain that went on for several hours. The bird unlike other raptors that survey while flying, perches for long hours, sights a prey and waits for opportunity to dive and catch. This Hawk Eagle hunts for prey like small birds, snakes, monitor Lizards, quails, Chameleons, squirrels etc..
The bird sort of looked sheepish perched like that - the area had quite a bit of small bird activity that didn't seem to care for this raptor. After many hours, the rain was the lightest and all the birds needed food I suppose. The narrow forest road was bustling with bird activity in the light morning rain. I expected the Hawk Eagle to hunt, but it didn't - maybe it was waiting for the rain to subside.
Many thanks in advance for your views / comments. Much appreciated.
