Some sort of Indian Hawk perches in Gurgaon, East of New Delhi, India. I often encounter birds etc, while hanging out shooting aircraft.- so I started a new album for them. If anyone can identify these creatures, please do so.
Alfred Fartknocker:
A great big bird flew over Dubendorf and a bored spotter got a pic.

Christmas Eve caught a Wren- saved here in a fishbowl and later released.

A neighbour, who only had one eye- was confronted by this young Crow, which came down his chimney. So worried was he, about losing his only peeper, that he asked me to deal with the young Corvid.
