2 Lesser spotted eagles & a crow

[Kaustuv Chatterjee]

Shot in Sultanpur earlier this year. This was unusual behavior. Usually crows mob eagles in large numbers. However this crow perched in between these 2 eagles for a good 3-4 mns. After that 1 eagle and the crow took off.

Shot with the Nikon D90, Nikkor 70-300mm VR, at 300mm, ISO 400, 1/1000s - F/9

Nice to see two spotted eagles perched in the open. Was there a nest? Slight off-centered composition would be good. The single crow perched inbetween them is quite interesting. Slight noise in the background, seems it was a bit far. Thanks for sharing.

Correction - these are Eastern Imperial Eagles and not Lesser spotted eagles.

Yes Mrudul, they were a bit far for my 70-300mm, have still not upgraded to the 80-400mm...will be doing so shortly :)

Nice to see this. Did you click this inside the park? Hopefully I will do a little bit of birding in these places this year. Haven't been to Sultanpur for a long time.

80-400 new version? The old one was lousy.

Yes, I shot this inside the park...off the main road track in the grassland.

I meant the new 80-400 ED G :)
