Raptor


Besra/Shikra/Sparrow Hawk?
Originally uploaded by SrikanthT.
I am confused about this raptor. I had this confusion even before with a similar one.
I think it is a Besra. But looks very close to Shikra and Eurasian Sparrow Hawk too.
Confused till I find right answer.
Taken from the balcony of my home this winter.
I guess the migratory season is over, and I donot see many birds these days from my balcony. I had these visitors during December and January.
