Shot this in Parikud, Chilika, Odisha. The pair kept dozing close by as I was watching them from the roof of the Parikud Palace.

Nice you got them perched one above the other. Liked the way they have half opened their eyes to see. Thinking moving the camera a bit more to the right would be good. Thanks for sharing.

Nice composition. Nice to see one half-opened eye and one full of both, well documented. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Very nice composition.

Nice image. Both are striking a nice pattern. Were you handholding or tripod?

Nice image Bibhav. Seems there was some joke between the 3 of you which prompted them to wink ;). I joined in too :). Nice symmetry and lovely image. I like the way the trunk of the tree is curved towards the left, its automaticaaly giving them a cosier place to perch.Thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone for your comments.
Sabyasachi,
This was shot handheld. I was on the roof of a building and the birds were on a tree just next to it.
Murugan,

Lovely pose captured.... It reminds me my lazy college days when parents wants me to get up early and I use to doze in the bed frequently....
