The wing spread is nice. Good you got it just before it landed. Good eye contact. Wish you were closer to get the bird bigger in the frame. Thanks for sharing.

While driving to the factory in sriperumbudur, I used to see them coming to the fields after tilling is over. Presumably to catch hold of juicy stuff that had been unearthed during the tilling of the field. Is it holding a nesting material?

Thanks for the comments !

Sabyasachi, its not holding any nesting material.
