This juvenile Changeable Hawk Eagle is becoming a familiar sight and is being counted among my old friends.
Extremely vocal, I find myself waiting for his call as soon as I go towards his favorite perch and he never disappoints me , sometimes I feel he’s as glad to see me as I am to see him.
Today I happened to chance upon him just as he had caught a snake and was eating it.
He allowed me to get quite close before taking off with his meal.
Vikram Nanjappa likes to be described as an interested and well-informed amateur. He draws his inspiration from the band of men called the Orientalists, most of whom were amateurs. By profession, they were soldiers and administrators. However, today, they are remembered as giants of scholarship. Like them, his field of enquiry is ‘Man and Nature : whatever is performed by the one or produced by the other’.
