Spring-Summer - 355

Not a great effort
... but sharing
it ... as inflight
images of this
species ... more
specifically the
Indian subspecies
aren't frequent ...

... and this was the
final point of
contact with them ...
... that evening

A group of 20+
individuals were
foraging in a fallow
stretch of land ...

... a little
before sunset ...

... and they suddenly
took off ...

We missed some ...
but managed to get
13 of them
in this frame ...
