Hawk perched in the Shola forests of Pampadum National Park

A hawk perched quietly within the dense canopy of Pampadum Shola National Park in the Western Ghats. Surrounded by lush evergreen vegetation, the raptor rests among the branches of a high-altitude Shola forest ecosystem, a unique montane habitat characteristic of southern India’s hill ranges. Pampadum Shola, located in Kerala’s Idukki district, is known for its cool misty climate, stunted evergreen forests, rolling grasslands, and exceptional biodiversity. Hawks and other birds of prey play an important ecological role in these forests by regulating populations of smaller birds, rodents, reptiles, and insects. The footage captures the calm presence of a forest raptor within one of India’s most ecologically sensitive rainforest habitats. #Hawk #PampadumShola #WesternGhats #KeralaWildlife #BirdOfPrey #SholaForest #IndianBirds #NatureDocumentary #ForestRaptor #WildlifeIndia hawk in Western Ghats, Pampadum Shola National Park, Kerala birds of prey, Shola forest wildlife, raptor India, evergreen forest birds, Western Ghats biodiversity, forest hawk perched, mountain forest ecosystem, nature documentary birds This footage is part of the broadcast stock footage archive of Wilderness Films India Ltd., the largest HD and 4K collection from South Asia.
