EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, we witness the enchanting beauty of Sri Lanka's wildlife. Meet our feathered superstar, an adult female Shikra perched gracefully on a tree branch. With her piercing gaze and regal poise, she exudes confidence and elegance. This stunning raptor is none other than the Accipiter badius badius, commonly known as the Shikra. Hailing from Africa and Asia, this tropical bird of prey has found its perfect sanctuary on the picturesque island of Sri Lanka. As December casts its magical spell over the landscape, our magnificent hunter takes center stage amidst lush greenery. Her presence adds a touch of mystery to this idyllic scene – a true predator blending seamlessly into her natural habitat. With sharp talons and keen eyesight, she is always alert for potential prey. The branches beneath her serve as both lookout point and resting spot between exhilarating hunts across South Asian skies. Join us in celebrating this awe-inspiring creature that symbolizes strength and resilience in nature's grand tapestry. Let her be a reminder that even within bustling ecosystems like Sri Lanka's rich wildlife haven, there are hidden gems waiting to be discovered by those who appreciate their wild allure.
