Raptor - 20 ... (Aquila nipalensis)

Raptor - 20 ...

Steppe feed ...
both by
hunting ... and
scavenging ...

They will take all
kind of carrion ...
... like Vultures
... and
that makes them prone
to similar tragedy ...
on exposure to
Diclofenac ... and
reseach has
borne that out ...

Idividuals exposed to that
deadly painkiller
have been found to
have their kidneys
and joints heavily
affected by it ...

Hopefully, better
alternatives to diclofenac
and tighter administrative
control will lead to
improved suvival of
such magnificent
creatures ...

He's quite magnificent, isn't he Alok.

Let's hope their future is not tooo bleak and they can recover from our mistakes.

A super picture - very well done my friend.

A most beautiful portrait of this eagle, Alok and Renu. I never knew they could be affected by chemicals like diclofenac.

A majestic pose, Alok, and a wonderfully detailed close up portrait.

another superb photo of this magnificent raptor. Indeed worrying facts concerning the painkiller. Best wishes, JJ
