Thought to go alone in my car on beach side road of Surat outskirt for Red-nacked Falcon as my friends had clicked,but didn't find. so i was on way to home around at 10.30am, sudden see a new bird sitting on electric wire just close to road.sudden came out n started clicking,took around 50 shots from different angle but missed flying shot.<br />
