One fish. Two claimants. A Great Cormorant holds on to its catch as another tries to wrest it away, turning a successful hunt into a battle for possession. 📍Keoladeo National Park, Bharatpur. #lensonwildlife #birds #photography #ThePhotoHour #birdoftheday

Two Great Cormorants struggle over a large fish in the water at Keoladeo National Park, Bharatpur. One bird grips the fish firmly in its bill while the second attempts to seize it, sending water spraying around them. The outstretched wings, suspended droplets and dark background capture the intensity of the tussle.

The Spiral Crown. Blackbuck. 📍 Tal Chhapar, Rajasthan. #lensonwildlife #nature #photography #mammals #ThePhotoOur

A male blackbuck stands partially surrounded by tall dry grass in Tal Chhapar, Rajasthan. It faces forward with a calm, alert expression, its long spiraled horns forming a symmetrical frame above its head. The dark facial markings contrast with its lighter body, while the soft, golden background remains clean and out of focus.

A measured distance. Even conflict allows a moment of stillness. Black-winged Kites. 📍Tal Chhapar, Rajasthan. #lensonwildlife #birds #nature #photography #raptors #BirdOfTheDay #monochrome #bnw #ThePhotoHour

Two Black-winged Kites are captured mid-air against a pale, high-key sky, holding a brief pause during an aerial conflict. Their wings are outstretched with subtle contrast, and a measured distance separates them, creating a calm, minimalist composition despite the underlying tension.

A moment of connection. Indian Desert Fox pair engaging in playful bonding behaviour — often seen in the lead-up to the breeding season, but rarely witnessed at such close range. November 2024. 📍Bikaner, Rajasthan. #lensonwildlife #nature #photography #ThePhotoHour #mammals #fox

Thank you so much, Linda. It was a special moment to witness this behaviour so close given how shy these foxes usually are.
