Angry Crested Serpent Eagle

[Achyuta Madhusudan Rao]

Came across this fighting pair of Crested Serpent eagles when on an early morning safari drive at the Rajiv Gandhi National Park - Nagarahole. They were so close to the vehicle that it was a challenge to frame them both with my telephoto lens. One such day where in you feel a wide angle lens would do justice :(

Rare sighting of a black kite with the crest. The stretched wings and the eye contact is nice. Agree some more space at the bottom would have been good. Please post the EXIF details to help in commenting. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely action. What was the shutter speed, aperture and ISO? It is not easy to have a lot of depth of field at 300mm, nevertheless, the more the merrier. Thanks for sharing.
