The Pair ...
A Lifer

Dudhwa National Park ...

This was the pair of

Grey-headed Fish Eagle

that initiated the
action seen in the
last post ...
... the one on left
can be seen calling
in this image too ...
... and both are looking
skyward ... with their focus
at the same spot
... they must
have picked up the
Steppe Eagle ... before
we could ...

A lifer to us ...
in
that very misty
post-sunset
hunting-action saga ...

First Image of a
pair in the
B-Forum Gallery ... and
