Rescued ...
My archives are
now almost like
a mysterious
chamber in
Hogwarts ...

I dug out this
unshared image ...
... that turns out
to be a rarity
here ... only 2
images in the
database ... and
one in the Opus ...
... last image posted
in 2010 ...

I took this in
year 2004 ... while
we were moving in
a boat on River
Ken ... part of
Ken Gharial Sanctuary ...
... with a less than 1 MP
VGA camera ... that
had 20x digital zoom
(not optical)

This is first of the
two images that
I could capture

Certainly is a rarity and so beautifully captured Alok ! It took you 16 years to post this? Shame on you ;)
 
That is a handsome bird and the contrast here works out nicely. Great shot and thanks for the information of the species.
