Eagle Eyes – Crested Serpent Eagle Scientific Name : Spilornis cheela Bandipur, Karnataka. 06/06/2014 Canon 500 D with Canon EF 400 mm f 5.6 ISO 800, f 5.6, 1/200 “ … the CSE as the name suggests often feeds on snakes ( … and other reptiles such as lizards ) and is a fairly widespread resident breeder. They are found mainly over areas with thick vegetation both on the low hills and the plains. … along with their talons, unfeathered but heavily scaled feet, it is their eyes which make them such fierce hunters ! This CSE was perched very close, unfortunately in deep shade in the canopy and was keenly observing us as we continued past him on our safari. Love those intense eyes … bet they don’t miss much …. “ Do visit TheUntamedEarth for more of such images from our natural world.
