I could see moving the bird slightly to the left in the frame, and maybe run a touch of additional sharpening. This species very much resembles our Northern Harrier, and sharpening can be a challenge, even when the image is sharp.

Hi Mital, well exposed on the underwings, good detail shown there. I like the colours on the harrier, and your repost does look better.

Hi Mital,

I agree with the above comments, and the re-post is excellent. Female harriers all look pretty similar to ID, so I'm sure you're correct on this one.

Thank you friends for your suggesting.
i re-discovered by local known guys that this is not a Pallid but a Montagu's Juv.
