Nice one Bibhav. Good eye contact and details. get to see the crest clearly when preening and due to the wind somtimes..

Good to see that you are still clicking CSE (at bandipur?). The talons are clearly seen. The wavy branch looks good.

The details in the body is nice. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Sabyasachi,
You are right, This was at Bandipur, the place where it all started :-)

Thanks Roopak,
There was a breeze blowing from behind the Eagle which raised the crest.
