Nandakumar. Looking at it's feet I tend to agree with you.

Well Nandakumar and Roy, when I first posted this, at that point I had said that it was taking off. However, a short while later I second guessed myself, because of the presence of nest material in front of it, plus the shape of the wings, which I thought was in an arc to slow itself down. Nevertheless, I am not sure at all!

Thanks you all for your very nice comments

Be either way, it is a fantastic image
