Observation details
When we'd come back from our shortest boat ride ever (XD), we heard the typical 'kae kae kae' song at the pick-up point of the ride. Me, Dhruv and two other friends came rushing to the spot to search the bird, but in vain. Then, when we weren't looking, the bird showed up flying over the shallow water, to an inaccessible part of the bank, with a catch! Me and Dhruv couldn't manage a photo, and were quite disappointed. However, after two or so minutes, calls were heard again to our right, but this time were the harsher and faster ' kekekeke' one. I managed to record it, and all four of us went to the area, which was a playground. Thankfully, the same guide who helped us spot the brown hawk-owl earlier had joined us, and soon we located the bird! We got a very reasonable number of photos, and so were very happy with ourselves.
