Nice to see a bengal florican. The eye contact is nice. This bird needs grasslands. Unfortunately, some people don't realise the importance of grasslands and are planting trees and changing the grassland ecosystems.

Manas can bounce back with some positive interventions. Hopefully we see that in our lifetime.

Thanks for sharing.

Lovely habitat composition. Agree with Sabyasachi, the eye contact with the catchlight enhances the composition. Were you sitting in a hide? Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.
