Shaheen falcon ( Indian race of Falco peregrinus peregrinator )

These are mainly found in South Asia from Pakistan across India to Sri Lanka and Southeastern China. It is non-migratory. It is small and dark, with rufous underparts barred with lighter color.

It was an awesome experience to watch this raptor for such a long time. One of the best part of this trip. This is more of a document shot, as, this was very very far way beyond the limits of my lens range; though I managed a record shot to show it in its habitat!
