Montagu"s Harrier Male

[Kamal Hari Menon]

Had a close encounter with this friendly Male Montagu's Harrier during last Christmas vacation.

They are winter visitors to India.

It took almost 1 hour and crawling for more than 100 meters to get close to this guy who was roosting on the ground.



Tanks in advance for your valuable feedback
