I saw this common rock thrush on my return journey from UAE to Oman,
interestingly the bird too was on its return journey as a passage migrant from its wintering grounds to its native range!

The Oriental Skylark is a resident of South and South East Asia. It’s jumpy and fast and skittish and a tireless flier. Don’t get into mixed flocks that many Larks prefer. Proofthat the rule “always take a pic of a lark” is an important one. Never know which one U get @indiaves

Freckle-breasted woodpecker
If you have to see this in India, Andaman it is..
Yet another lifer.

The majestic raptor, Crested Serpant Eagle in flight. What i realised is to see raptors its always after the sun is up like 9 am when they scan from the sky for possible meal. Nothing like early bird catches pray😅

Andaman Serpent Eagle.
I found this extremely rare to spot. Very unlike crested serpent eagle which is seen very commonly in forests here in mainland.
IUCN status: Vulnerable

#Dyk Prantincole does a mock display of injured wings to draw the attention of predators from their chicks.
They flap the wing in ground ss if they cannot fly

The Indian Bush lark. A little songster that likes to sit on top of things .. often found perched like this on precariously balanced atop a bush singing its soft merry song. It’s very vocal and that little orange wing will help you identify it. @indiaves

Fire Breasted Flowerpecker is tiny songbird of mountain and hill forests, ranges from the Himalayas south to the Malay Peninsula.

The Crested Serpant Eagle for today. The most common eagle you may see in the jungles and in winters occasionally seen at NCR too.
