Winter - 29 (Antilope cervicapra)

A Warm Winter ...

The Blackbuck Affair ...
... a happy one this time

Some Bollywood
celebrities are in
the dock for killing
them for fun ... and
the case is still being
heard in the Court ...

Recorded this clip
while we were
looking for
Wheatears ... on a
hazy winter forenoon ..

... in the open
agrarian wilderness
of South-western
Haryana ...

Blackbucks shot
... albeit
in Natural ... acceptable
... and legal way ...

My FB friend, Kevin Smith
from U.K. has written
on my Timeline
that Marsh Harriers
( along with rarer
Hen Harrier ... )
are over-wintering there
due to a warm and
wet winter ...
... could be just a
trailer of full impact
of the Global Warming
and the resultant changes
in the behavior of
birds and animals ... ?

Watch the activity in
a small video-clip ...
