(delhibirdpix) Hen Harrier - Male - Flight image

Species: Hen Harrier (Circus cyaneus) - Male
Family: Accipitridae
Location: Tal Chapar Wildlife Sanctuary, Rajasthan, India
Date: January 25, 2013

Equipment: Canon 7D with Canon 300mm f4 IS and 1.4x Teleconverter

Sorry for not sending this across earlier due to a very busy (and interesting as always) trip to Tal Chapar. Here's the image of the same Hen Harrier after it took off from the fence. As it flew away from me, I could manage this record shot that illustrates the wing pattern. The all black wing tips, along with the dark trailing edge to the wings, helped me confirm this as a Hen Harrier in the field.

Cheers,
Shreeram
