    Shikra (female) with prey.

    This female shikra was in our garden. Preyed on a pigeon. Dismembered its victim first by ripping open the abdomen and feeding on the head first. All the while very careful that no other bird would pounce on her feed.

    She shifted her place from ground to a tree looking for a good hold to feed.

    More than thirty minutes of video was shot with Canon 7D MK II fitted with EF 100-400L IS II USM. Below are sequential while video was on. From the comfort of second floor balcony at home.
