Christmas Roadtrip - 2010
Orange Minivet (Pericrocotus flammeus)
This was on the way to Sheegekhan in Muthodi. The male remained elusive.
Eurasian Sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus)
The orange iris does make me suspect that this might be a wrong ID. However, I could rule out Besra and Shikra based on the sharp horizontal stripes across the chest.
