The White-eyed Buzzard is a widespread resident of the Indian forests and is found in dry open country. The Wildlife Sanctuaries in Central India are some of the best places to photograph this species.
We had our best sighting of this raptor in the Pench national park. Below is a collection of images from some close sightings that we had, one of which was in gorgeous golden evening sunlight.

Striking pictures!
stunning images. I really like the last one. the details are amazing.
OOh! awesome.. loved the last one!
Hey, when did you go to Pench? Any tiger sighting? We too had spotted the buzzard in Pench, but never captured it like you did. That of course need not be told, right? Wonderful shots :)
Such clean and clear shots of this majestic bird!You outdid yourself with this:)
Great set of images!
Very sharp, beautifully composed and greatly detailed.
What a beautiful specie! Normally, a 'Buzzard' makes one think of an ugly bird, but this guys is quite the opposite.
Your birds portraits are alwayas great.
Amazing!!!!

You are such a fine photographer and it is a pleasure viewing your work, these images are each one sweet perfection~
I love that first shot. What a piercing stare (glare?)!
How close were you when you took these photos?
Simply marvellous shots. I almost like the bird now.
As always excellent series. Wonderful bird!
This bird is handsome and the detail in your pictures and the light is stunning. Funny though - the one picture where the light is not the best and it is backlit is my favorite for showing up the 'white' eyes! So well, done as usual :-)
Stunning, I love the earthy tones on some of the images. You are really good!!! Anna :)

Magnificent & awesome photographs - shows up the regal bird in all its glory.The buzzard in the second pic looks grey while all the others it is brown.Is it because you have introduced a filter?
