We have experienced time and time again that the best wildlife moments are when the subject is engrossed in action. Wildlife action can be anything from the subject being in middle of a hunt, courtship, mating, feeding or it could be as simple as quenching its thirst as is the case in this post.
When we sighted this Oriental Honey Buzzard (OHB) on the ground near a waterhole, we instinctively knew that it is either in the middle of a hunt or going for drink and you will notice from the series of images that it was the latter. Another interesting aspect that we wanted to highlight was that how well this juvenile OHB is camouflaged, whether it is on the forest floor or in the trees.

What a beautiful bird. How nice to be able to observe him un-noticed.
his camouflage is really impressive.. i like how alert he is even though he's drinking water.. great captures..
Beautiful photo.
You captured the moment.
What to say?
Wonderful! As usual...
Wow very impressive bird and picture Thomas... I love the one with the reflection a lot but all are gorgeous!
Excellent captures, as usual. Beautiful and scary at the same time. :)
Every of your photos shows great actions, not just these. Another great set thought. Like the first one, never see a big bird like that drinking. Hope all is well with you Thomas. Anna :)
