| Visitor from the Amur Land (Male) |
| Another record shot of this magnificient raptor
(since there are none on this site till
now).....the male is unmistakable and are
beautiful....one should see it to appreciate
it.....crusing at very high speed, they catch
insects midair on their way to wintering grounds
in South Africa....it is amazing to note that this
species probably undertakes the longest regular
overwater passage of any raptor when it crosses
the Indian Ocean between southwestern India and
tropical East Africa, a journey of more than 4,000
km NONSTOP......really difficult to freeze these
guys in a camera :) |
