Summary

Description

Another variant of Falcon resident to the subcontinent, but migratory to our region during winters. It is much smaller than the Peregrine Falcon and maybe the size of a Kestrel around 30-35 cms in height. The bird is also a fast flyer and could be seen hunting for smaller birds in the countryside. I had sighted it around the Harriers Roosting place earlier and the Harriers clearly didn't want this bird around. I am not sure what it killed since my view was partially blocked by a branch, and by the time I got into this position, the Falcon finished the breakfast.

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
