That's a nice bird you have as a dance partner Mark.
A troop of peacocks and peahens will keep all snakes away.

Nice snaps hvj1. The Shikra hawks (A. badius) are more often found in pairs. Did you spot the mate somewhere closeby?

Thanks Prashant,
Are Shikras and Eurasian Sparrowhawks one and the same?? I need to check on this. No I was very very lucky to get the photo of this gent, who obliged me with a superb 'sitting'.
Best Regards

As an example of overcoming adversity, Karoly Takacs has few peers. He was part of Hungary’s world champion pistol-shooting team in 1938, when an army grenade exploded, crippling his right hand. Ten years later, having taught himself to shoot with his left, he won two gold medals in the rapid-fire class.
