The Oriental Honey Buzzard comes visiting again

For the last two years during these months, an Oriental Honey Buzzard comes outside our house. When this bird comes usually there are alarm calls all over from the the squirrel's & also all the resident dada's also get insecure & tend to hassle a new bird. All in all there is panic in the air when the OHB comes in.

Today morning i was in still in bed, suddenly i heard didi call out "Honey buzzard saamne baita hai," i jumped out of bed & there it was just outside our balcony. This one is a female, last year we had seen the male.

She started giving me the looks !!

When the crows were hassling her, she just opens her beak......

Then suddenly a Shikra swooped on her, look at her how she has puffed up herself & made her appear really big to ward off the Shikra. Unfortunately i could not get the Shikra in the same frame.

Then she went to another tree & again started eye balling me !!

After a good 25 mts she decided to go away

Tata, bye bye, au revoir, adios amigos.

Until next time

take care !!
