Crested Serpent Eagle
Capturing an eagle in action is always thrilling, especially when they surprise you with their movements. While waiting for the tiger to appear at the waterhole, I spotted this majestic eagle perched and scanning its surroundings.
Anticipating it would take off to the right, I was ready with composition. However, the eagle…

Tiger Xylo
It was almost dry morning safari when guide told us another 30 mins to end.
We were waiting on the path hoping Tiger to cross and our luck we saw him coming. In the other safari crowd I manage this shot, especially I wanted some tree leave in front of him as a foreground bokeh.

Crested Serpent Eagle

Captured while it was sitting still on a branch and I wonder if it was observing its prey. While there are branches around it, found this position where nothing was obstructing it for the most part. Also, liked how the thick branch is also leading the eye to the subject.

The background was beautiful with the greens and the yellows.
