EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, we witness a thrilling wildlife encounter that could rival any action movie! Our mischievous Changeable Hawk-eagle, belonging to the endemic race of Spizaetus cirrhatus ceylanensis, has cunningly captured its unsuspecting prey – a White-throated Kingfisher. With razor-sharp talons firmly grasping its prize, our hungry hunter perches confidently on a sturdy branch amidst the lush foliage of Sri Lanka. December brings more than just holiday cheer to this tropical paradise; it also offers an incredible spectacle of nature at work. This sub-adult eagle showcases its predatory prowess as it indulges in a well-deserved meal. The vibrant colors and intricate details of both bird species are beautifully highlighted against the backdrop of verdant greenery. As we marvel at this extraordinary scene, we can't help but admire the resilience and adaptability found within Asian ecosystems. Sri Lanka's diverse range of raptors is home to these majestic creatures who play vital roles as top predators in their environment. So let us raise our binoculars and toast to Mother Nature's awe-inspiring creations! Join us on this visual journey through time and space as FLPA photographer Neil Bowman captures yet another breathtaking moment from the wild side – where survival instincts collide with sheer beauty.
