Really lovely to follow the curious eyes of the eagle. Wonderful behavioural video of these birds.

LOL that stilt was having a lovely time washing, wasn't he. I guess that eagle was further back than it appeared to be!!?

A wonderful video Alok and Renu - very well done and thanks my friend.

Amazing footage of this brazen stilt. I see so many things and shake my head wondering how that individual is still alive (lol), this is one of them. Spectacular footage Renu & Alok! TFS!

A terrific video, Alok & Renu! The waders don't seem at all bothered about the eagle's presence.
