Here is the Oriental Scops Owl with the background. The mustard fields
are to the left and one can see human habitation of New Palam Vihar in
the background. Part of the landmark Peepal tree is also visible.
Location: New Palam Vihar, Gurgaon and Raghopur village, Delhi. This
is a border area so at present I am going with New Palam Vihar,
Gurgaon.
I was able to go there yesterday, but the Owl has moved. I shall go
there again today.
