DescriptionA Pallid Harrier Male Roosting (51041721888).jpg
During my last trip, I didn't see any Pallid Harriers at this roosting location, but could sight mostly Montagu's Harriers. But this time, there were several Pallid Male and female as well. They were all roosting in the grassland, sometimes within 10-20 feet of each other. They were quite passive and flew away when we got close or switched off the vehicle engine to take pictures. The Pallid or Pale Harrier nature is quite visible here as they are visibly pale compared to the greyish blue tones of Montagu's. I find the males more beautiful than the females and easier to id in both the species,
We sighted several which seemed comfortable with us as long as we sat in our vehicle. When we tried step out and crawl closer, they had little patience for our antics and flew away.
Many thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
