On a bad lighting day ...
came a great oppotunity

Lighting ... on
the winter day when
this image was
captured ...
... was
depressingly bad ...

... but a chance
to see this exciting
wildlife event came
on this day ...

A very young fawn of
Axis deer was killed
by Eagles ... and one
of them ... a huge
Tawny Eagle was feasting
on it now ...
... it was being constantly
harassed by a gang of
Large-billed Crows ...

The minimum size of
the Large-billed Crow
is 46 cm ... and the
Eagle ... amazingly
looks more than three
times larger than them
... at least ...

To disperse the
pestering Crows ... the
Eagle called repeated
... giving a chance
to record his call ...

Focal length of 642 mm
was used to get this
full-frame shot ...

The event may be witnessed
in a video-clip, uploaded today
