| Remarks : | This Grey-headed Fish Eagle caught a very big fish for its late lunch. Due to the proximity of the mighty Brahmaputra River and its many tributaries crossing the Kaziranga National Park, there is no dearth of fish. So this park is full of owls and fish eagles. I had only a little time to capture it and within a few moments it flew away carrying the fish by one claw. - MD |
