Lovely diving pose captured. You could get any image in the series with the catch? How are the sightings in Mangalajodi this year? Thanks for sharing.

Nice action pose. All I wish is full frame action images. Tough to navigate the boat to the spot where action is happening as these kinds of actions are sudden and short duration. I think this was shot earlier this year? Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Thank you Mrudul ji, Shyamala ji and Sabyasachi da for your comments..
this image was shot in last year December. Unfortunately this effort was unsuccessful. I have lots of series of successful hunting of fish by various water birds and many of them was shot in Mangalajodi. I'll try to share some of them in Natural History section. Mangalajodi is an amazing place to study bird behaviour. I think Bharatpur and Mangalajodi are the best place where one can study birds in India. I visited Mangalajodi in August this year last time. So I cant tell about population of foreign birds during onset of winter.

Thank you again...
