Nice timing. Saturation slightly higher. This bird wields its beak like a dagger in stabbing larger prey. Last year I had seen it with a coot kill. This year I missed both Bharatpur as well as Chilika due to travel and then illness. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Nice moment captured. I feel some more space at the bottom would have been nice. A vertical composition would have also worked well here. How were the sightings in Bharatpur this year? Thanks for sharing.

Sabyasachi sir, this bird is indeed a killing machine , I too have clicked with a Whistling duck kill at far off but image is not that good . They were parenting a baby near by and both male & female were feeding alternatively with smaller fish . Thanks for appreciation Sandipan, Samrat .
