Peregrine Falcon and Black Eared Kite, Teesta River Bed, West Bengal, India

By Soumik Biswas

I was birding along the Teesta River on a winter morning to get some clicks of migratory birds. I Saw two Black Eared Kites having something. I crouched in the sand and tried to go close to them to get a decent shot. While I was moving ahead , suddenly I saw a Peregrine Falcon coming from top and attacking the Kites to snatch away the food that they were having.
