Summary

[edit]
Description

Around 7.30 in the morning, a Marsh Harrier was busy over the vast swathe of fields, flying low and disturbing the hundreds of ducks, Ibises, egrets, Sandpipers and other birds. These birds would fly away from the Harrier and settle at a short distance before the Harrier makes another pass. I shot this duck when it came in front of me in good light after being disturbed by a Marsh Harrier. I love flight shots and the light was fantastic to let this go. This is a common duck found throughout the year across the Indian Subcontinent. The numbers are quite higher now due to good water in all the lakes and hence a lot more food for these beautiful birds.

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
