EDITORS COMMENTS
Queen of the Palm Frond: This fierce and fabulous Shikra female knows how to strike a pose! Perched gracefully on a palm frond in Sri Lanka, she exudes power and elegance. With her piercing gaze and majestic presence, she's the ruler of this tropical paradise. As an apex predator, this raptor is always on the lookout for her next meal, ready to swoop down with lightning speed. Her African-Asian heritage gives her a unique blend of beauty and strength that captivates all who lay eyes upon her. In December, when most are bundled up for winter, she basks in the warm island sun, showcasing her vibrant plumage against lush green leaves. The fronds sway gently beneath her as if paying homage to their regal visitor. Native to South Asia's islands like Sri Lanka, this shikra embodies the spirit of these tropical havens. This stunning snapshot by FLPA/Neil Bowman captures not just a bird but also a symbol of wild life at its finest. It reminds us that nature holds incredible wonders waiting to be discovered – from hidden predators among palm trees to breathtaking moments frozen in time.
