I had this bird on my wishlist, since i saw its image the first time some years back. Only this time did i have the time to really plan to shoot this bird. Before this Image i sat for countless days and hours many mornings and evening for getting a shot of this bird. This guy however always kept its distance from me and i could only see these at around atleast 500 Mts away or more. On this day however i was just walking and this guys just like that landed on a tree which was really quite near to me. I stood mesmerized for some moments, then came to my senses. Set up my tripod and then started to shoot this. All this while it just stayed put. I shot for about 15 seconds or so and then this guy flew away, but not without giving me a shot and blessing me in countless ways.
