Hi Folks!
This one is hot off the chip, having been shot today. What is really interesting is that it was shot very close to Kolkata city, where large raptors are extremely rare and aside from Black Kites and the very occasional Crested Serpant eagle, anything else is an extreme rarity. This is not a large bird, about 60-68 cms, and was seen near a waterbody where it made a couple of fruitless dives at the waterfowl. The bird was far away when I got a chance to shoot and the image quality suffers as a result.
Thanks and regards,
Sumit
