Short-toed Snake-eagle : Dogfight between single Eagle and more than a dozen Black kites. It was morning only ... not noon yet That day ... This Eagle was sitting atop an Acacia crown ..... fairly distant We moved closer ... to get a worthy shot ... but he ... judging our motive ... simply sailed-off ... Black kites ... sitting around in dozens ... too took off ... to chase him away ... Starting with 3-4 their number grew to 12-15 birds ... circling above ... below ... and around the Lion ... Eagle, too, ducked ... swerved ... and rose higher to possibly a Km or more ... nearly unfazed ... almost enjoying the Rugby-like joust ... Some Black kites dropped off ... fresh ones joined kepping their number high ... but the Eagle Sailed ... cool and calm ... with 7 feet wing-span ... a master of sky The group kept rising and gradually drifted away beyond the southern horizon ... leaving us spellbound and guessing ... After about 5 minutes or so ... they reappeared almost 180 degree from their exit point ... Eagle ... still sailing with aplomb ... remaining around for another 15 min... before moving out of vision ... Elevation: 209 m. Date added to IBC: January 24, 2017.
