Black-necked Ibis in action - 

As the water level goes down at Mangalajodi Swamp area, Orissa, India, these subjects feast on the snakes which becomes visible. Here the snake (I do not know its ID) is giving a last try to save itself by coiling itself to the grassroots.

Nikon D500, 500F4 G ED VR.
Exposure Time - 1/1000 seconds, F Number – 8.00, Exposure Program - Aperture priority, ISO – 640, White Balance – SUNNY, Focus Mode - AF-C.

I appreciate all critiques.
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR VIEWING & INPUTS.

A wonderful action and behavior photograph, Somdeb. The fact we can view the heads and eyes of both the bird and the snake makes this one special. Excellent work!
