Nikon 850+200-500 ,ISO 3200 ,F/7.1 ,1/1000s ,FL 360mm ,early morning Nov 2021 .She was in a Nullah busy munching on fallen nuts and quite unfazed by our presence .

They are always alert. Even while feeding they can't relax even for a moment as danger can be lurking from any side. I like their eyes. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

You have captured the right moment, it is holding the nut but is still looking around for danger. Liked the details in the eye. Nice frame. Thanks for sharing.

Good pic of a very alert animal as mentioned by Sabyaji.But their alarm calls dont always indicate the presence of predatoors.For that the spotted deer and Sambar are good sources.
