Abstract

This note reports on an observation made on the predation of an individual of Hemidactylus frenatus by the Halcyon smyrnensis in an urban park in the National Capital Territory of Delhi. Documenting such small behavior and responses of the wild species would be of paramount importance in management and conservation of the native species in an urban ecosystem.
