    1. It had just become a little bright. It was a rather dark morning otherwise. Had it been any earlier, it would have been tough to get this shot :-) Posted 6 years ago

The grey-headed fish eagle is a bird of prey. It breeds in the forests of the Indian subcontinent east to Southeast Asia. It builds a stick nest in a tree near water and lays two to four eggs. It is a specialist fish eater which hunts over lakes, lagoons, and large rivers.
