The Black Drongo

A rhyme-comic on the Black Drongo- one of the most fearless birds! The drongo's habit of mobbing birds of prey has in fact, earned it several vernacular nicknames, such as 'Kotwal', meaning policeman in Marathi! 

The comic appears in my column with Sunday Mid-day.

Raptors of the Indian Subcontinent

Big, bad and mean- here's a brand new compilation of all the 73 species of raptors found in the Indian subcontinent! Having such incredible diversity in landscape and habitat, it is of little wonder that the subcontinent hosts such a high diversity of raptors! Right from the 4 feet long Cinereous Vulture to the sparrow-sized Pied Falconet, raptors come in every shape and size, and inhabit all kinds of terrain, be it rainforests, scrubs, deserts, hills, coasts, islands or snow-capped mountains. Being the apex predators in the bird world, raptors truly are the tigers of the skies!
