Brown Hawk-owl Ninox scutulata
Stationed atop a ship on the banks of the Brahmaputra river in Guwahati during the lockdown, Mayuresh Hendre photographed this Brown Hawk-owl Ninox scutulata at dusk. This regular visitor is seen against the backdrop of the Saraighat Bridge, from where it sallies forth in search of insects and even small birds.
