I had thought it was the resident Changeable Hawk-Eagle calling and did not pay much attention until the piercing calls persisted long and louder. Curiosity piqued, I raced to find an open space where I could trace the calls, and there up high already was a flock of four thermal circling.
As this went on for a while, and one still calling, I managed to capture each one thermalling alone.
And one suddenly appeared from elsewhere to join these four, and together the flock soared away.
BK or TRK do not really like in the pathway of any raptors, ie, that one can see scores of them passing through during their migration. However the occasional sightings do cause some excitement.
It looked like the call was for this one who seemed to have strayed momentarily, and finally heeded the call to return to the rest.
However, it's interesting to note that this one looked different from the others, perhaps, a much younger hawk-eagle. All in all it was simply heartening to learn that birds do look out for one another too.
