Caught in the Act - Shikra Strikes a Pose on Stump at Keoladeo Ghana N. P
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, we witness the majestic Shikra, an adult Accipiter badius, showcasing its regal presence as it perches confidently on a weathered stump. The enchanting backdrop of Keoladeo Ghana National Park in Bharatpur, Rajasthan sets the stage for this wild encounter. With its piercing gaze and sharp talons ready for action, this raptor epitomizes power and grace. As one of India's native birds of prey, it reigns over the marshy wetlands with unparalleled hunting prowess. Its African-Asian heritage is evident through its striking features that blend seamlessly into both continents' diverse landscapes. The vibrant colors and textures of this photograph transport us to South Asia's thriving ecosystem. From the tranquil freshwater marshes to the lush greenery surrounding them, every element harmoniously contributes to nature's masterpiece. As we admire this remarkable creature captured by FLPA photographer Bill Coster, we can't help but marvel at how effortlessly wildlife adapts to their surroundings. The shikra symbolizes resilience and survival instincts amidst ever-changing environments. This image serves as a gentle reminder that our world is brimming with extraordinary creatures like these hawks who call wetlands their home. Let us cherish and protect these precious habitats so that future generations can continue to be awestruck by such awe-inspiring sights in our natural world.
