Hi Leuba, Name of the bird: Shikra I have spotted this in Chennai.
Leuba Ridgway
Welcome to Project Noah karthickfrnd ! A nice spotting of a bird in its natural surrounds. Could you please give us a little more information as expected for everyone's benefit. Where did you spot it and a description of the bird. Is Shikira a local name? Is it a raptor?
