Falcon,
Collared Falconet
This trip featured a lot of raptors and some very special ones for me. We spent a few hours perched on a machan in the forenoon inside the core zone of the park, and this enterprising Collared Falconet landed on a nearby branch and gave us a fantastic view. This being a lifer for me made it all the more sweet.
