|| An Unexpected Rivalry || We were roaming about in a forest searching for this Changeable Hawk Eagle when we unexpectedly saw a raptor flying towards us in an alarmed state. Then we saw it was running for its life with a crow in its back. Such a raptor getting mobbed by a crow and even a drongo tells us that the largest are not always the mightiest. Nadia, 2023

Picture Details

This photo was taken in Saswad, Pune where a group of vernal hanging parrots were spotted at a millet farm on a cloudy morning. Despite difficult lighting conditions, I made several attempts to capture the birds in flight for an hour or more but was unsuccessful. Then, I had an epiphany. I realized that when a bird perched on an unripe millet, it would quickly fly away in search of a ripe one to eat. This knowledge allowed me to finally capture this shot through the foliage, creating a beautiful blurry effect on the wings due to the low shutter speed caused by the low light. One of the basics I always stick with: learn your subject before you choose to press the shutter
