This spotted owlet was hidden in the branches of a Mango tree. I saw it while looking for a Grey Hornbill that had come flying into the tree. This bird sat quite still and just rotated its head toward the directions from where it could hear nearby ibis and lapwings. #birds #IndiaBirding #nature

PRL's Mount Abu Observatory hosts four telescopes - three seen in this pic from near the site of the fourth.
Seen in the photo are the clamshell dome of the 43 cm (foreground); the 1.2 m in the middle distance and the 2.5 m in the background.
The observatory is at an altitude of 1680m 🔭
