We had finished the day’s birding at Ragihalli, and were wending our way homewards when I said, “So sad, we haven’t seen a single raptor yet, apart from the BLACK KITE.” So immediately this ORIENTAL HONEY BUZZARD flew out over the road near the first gate/watchtower…

and went to settle itself on first one tree,

And then on an acacia tree:

What beautiful bird it is….it satisfied my wish to see a bird of prey in all its majesty!
