(delhibirdpix) Common Black Hawk (?) !!

Hi,

Yesterday , while I walking on a road in Central Delhi, near India Gate, saw a majestic raptor, which is

possibly a Common Black Hawk. Really a great moment to see it . Being harassed by crows, it perched on a Neem tree for few minutes.

Unfortunately, I was not having my cam , not even my Cell phone , so borrowed a phone from somebody else and took some record shots through that. But surely this shall be a new record for Delhi.

White Tail band clearly visible while it flew.

Please confirm the ID if you can make out from the pics. I suppose pics are that much , so as to make out the ID.

Cheers,

Jitender

(delhibirdpix) Tits - Uttarkhand - II

Black-lored Tit at various places

Great Tit mainly at Kakragad

Green-backed at Dugalbitta

Uttarkhand, 16-19th May 2013

(delhibirdpix) Tits - Uttarkhand - I

- Black-throated Tit seen multiple times at different places

- Spot-winged Tit, at various points on the Chopta-Tungnath trek, and at
Baniyakund en route to Mukku farm

- Yellow-browed Tit, seen mainly at Tungnath and Baniyakund

Also saw the Rufous-vented and Grey-crested Tits at Tungnath a couple of times, but even the record shots are not worth posting. We probably also saw the Rufous-naped, which is to be confirmed later from (far better) photographs taken by Yogish.

Uttarkhand, 16-19 March 2013

[BirdPhotoIndia] Slender-billed Scimitar Babbler

A Slender-billed Scimitar Babbler (Pomatorhinus superciliaris) that gave good views at Eaglenest Pass, Arunachal Pradesh on the 25th April '13

The Slender-billed Scimitar Babbler was formerly the only member of the genus Xiphirhynchus, but now has been lumped with Pomatorhinus like the other Scimitar babblers. Pomatorhinus though seems to now be heading for a split !!

(delhibirdpix) Birding in Shillong.

Dear All, Today Taksh went off alone with one of the boys for birding in the usual area around . After spending about 5 hours there he came up with some amazing sightings. Specially the RED FACED LIOCICHLA ( A Poor but amazing record shot attached)

1. LESSER CUCKOO 30^th may 2013

the Lesser Cuckoo was brought to me by one of the boys who found it behind a flowerpot. Thinking that it was either hurt or sick , I asked to bring some water . To make it comfortable I let it sit on my hand . It looked at me curiously and its slender beak was beautiful. As I was appreciating its beauty it spread its wings and flew off. It was a real happy moment to see it fly off. Then was when I realised that not a single photo of it was with me. Though its well being was compensation enough.

3. Large billed crow

4. Yellow cheeked tit

5. Green backed tit

6. STREAK BREASTED SCIMATAR BABBLER
