A special post for this very cooperative Oriental Honey buzzard, that spend a good hour searching for honeycomb in bushes, just ignoring my presence even i simply stand in a few meter, following it in its moving in the different bushes. I saw her entering inside deep bushes for few minute, and then flying to a other one, that probably explain the wear on its tail feathers.
I still can not understand the confident behaviour of this bird, even birds in India are usually not too shy comparing with Chinese birds, this one was particuraly pleasant especially for raptor.
Photo taken on 28th of november in Gir National Park.
