The Short-eared Owl, a fascinating winter visitor, is commonly found in open farmlands and short grasslands, especially in harvested paddy fields. Its habit of flying low over these open landscapes makes it easier to spot and a favorite subject for wildlife photographers.
As sunset approaches, the scenery becomes truly magical. Drongos take to the sky, skillfully catching insects in mid-air. When perfectly captured in line with the setting sun, the drongo appears as a dark silhouette right at the center of the glowing sun. In that breathtaking moment, it looks as if the bird is burning within the sun itself, creating a dramatic and unforgettable image for any photographer.
