Thank you to all who fave or comment on my photos it is much appreciated.

Barnie at Sunset, nice to see them catching this afternoon as they must be really struggling to be out so often and so early. Fingers crossed this unrelenting stormy weather pattern we have been in for the last 4-5 weeks soon abates and gives them a fighting chance moving into Spring :-)

Last weekend, we explored a new location in a new forest - one that is so promising. The location had an old temple surrounded by forest and streams. And there was a water tower that stands at the height of the trees in the forest. So we climbed up, praying that the steps dont give away and managed to the top safely. And there it was, sitting peacefully and staring back!

This is a common resident Owlet found in forests across the country. They can be often heard during morning / evenings in the forests, but they are kind of active during the day too. The birds are quite predatory in the night and hence the calls attract a variety of birds that gang up and chase the owlets away.

The Owlet moved several times and sat quietly in some trees - often close to us, but they move so stealthily that we couldn't trace them. But thanks to the Bulbuls and other small birds that were continually harassing these owlets, we sighted them again and again.

Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.

Elanus axillaris

This one has an extra foot. A mouse foot ;-)

Who could say from this picture️ that fearless birds like Ospreys 🐦can also fall prey?

Pygmy Owl

a barn owl

not so many about today but you only need one flying around in front of you

Checking its safe to come out with dinner

A Red Kite in flight in Brynamman over the Black mountain in the Brecon beacons.

Sighted this Harrier in the gently gliding and hunting in the grasslands during a sunny spell an hour before sunset. This is a Pallid Harrier subadult male - the juveniles and subadults are pretty tough to id even for experienced birders. The brown plumage will slowly turn to pale white over the next winter. He was gliding all over and flew at the right distance from our car giving us some fantastic shots in amazing light. There was another Pallid Harrier male which we were shooting - this one attacked the other and both flew away chasing each other and disappeared out of view.

These are migratory birds from Central Asia that winter in India. They hunt the small birds like Larks, Pipits and reptiles like Lizards, Chameleons, frogs in the grasslands. The birds are sighted easily in the grasslands these days - around 15-20 of them and the numbers are slowly increasing. Due to the winter, the light fades pretty quickly. These Harriers converge to their roosting spots much earlier than usual and that is when we can get a reasonable estimate of their numbers.

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
