Field Notes

Description:

After the last safari of the sequence, i.e. on 24th morning, we were coming out of the jungle. We crossed the place where the leopard was spotted the previous day. I kept alerted as I was hoping to see the big cat again. Suddenly, I saw this big bird sitting on a tree next to the mud road. Its crest was very much visible and I whispered to the driver CHE!! As I started focussing on the bird I realized there's a bonus.. it is with the kill! The bird did notice a bunch of men with big photographic gear framing it. But, it was more worried about its food. You can see it holding the prey tight..

Habitat:

forest
