EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this shot captured by FLPA photographer Neil Bowman, we witness the stunning beauty of an adult female Shikra perched gracefully on a palm frond. With her piercing eyes fixed on something intriguing, she exudes an air of mystery and power. This feisty raptor hails from the tropical paradise of Sri Lanka, where it reigns as one of nature's most skilled predators. Known for its agility and precision in flight, the Shikra is truly a force to be reckoned with in the avian world. Against the backdrop of lush green leaves, this majestic bird showcases its African-Asian heritage with pride. Its elegant feathers blend seamlessly with the vibrant foliage, creating a picture-perfect harmony between creature and environment. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but imagine what adventures lie ahead for our fierce feathered friend. Will she swoop down upon her unsuspecting prey? Or perhaps she'll take flight into the vast blue sky above? Whatever destiny awaits her amidst these enchanting palm trees, one thing is certain – this adult female Shikra embodies strength and grace like no other. So let us celebrate her wild spirit as she rules over Sri Lanka's tropical realm!
