[India-nature-pixs] Pleasures of a Lock Down - The Birds of a Terrace - # 19.13 - Shikra (Accipiter badius)- 2020-167

LOCK DOWN - UNLOCK IV

This Shikra is the Sector Bully and harasses the Birds, 

particularly the ones that are nesting and raising young.

It would watch them bring nesting material and raid the

Nest soon they have laid eggs.  This happened in April

when Yellow-Footed Green Pigeons had made a Nest

(could not see if the eggs had been laid) but Shikra 

did search it and thereafter no more YFGPigeons on

the tree or ‘online’

This day, 28th April, this Guy had been chasing

Red-Whiskered Bulbul and aiming for the young

ones. Bulbul turned out to be a lot smarter. A Call

froze the just fledged young to be quiet and immobile.

Chase unsuccessful for Shikra but productive for

me to get some keepers. Why it did not appear in

my e-Book - Birds of a Terrace - in May, I do not 

know.

Enjoy.
