Season - 62 (Accipiter badius)

The Season at Balcony ...

Sharing a rare event ...

... during my more
than four
decades of casual
and dedicated birding
forays ...
I never
came across a pair
of Shikra ... M & F
sitting together ...
... peacefully ... quietly
almost whispering into
each others' ears ...

... that too, in
thick urban milieu
of Delhi ...

... and here they
decided to do so on
my Balcony Water-bowl ...

... and for long enough
for me to take
images and do a video
as well ...

A rare honor ... very
satisfying ... giving
me immense joy ...

... and that, I share
with all ...
