The Pallas's Fish-Eagle is a rare species of Eagle found in Northern India. As a result of widespread loss, degradation, and disturbance of wetlands and breeding sites throughout its range, the population of Pallas's Fish-Eagle is declining and their conservation status is Vulnerable.
We were very lucky to see a couple of these awesome raptors in the Eastern range of the Kaziranga Wildlife Sanctuary. No wonder the Eastern range is known as a birder's paradise. Here are some images from these sightings.
All images are taken with D300, 300mm f2.8 lens mounted with the 2x TC. Basic post processing has been done using Capture NX 2.0.
