Another marvellous capture of this majestic Steppe Eagle with a much smaller bird in the frame too, Alok & Renu! I've been enjoying these very much indeed.

Looks like this Lapwing has a weary eye. Awesome close-up of this spectacular eagle at the watering hole with the lapwing behind. Exceptional Alok & Renu!
