During the last Photowalk of Wildlife Photographers collective India, under the mentorship of Samir Sachdeva sir, I was able to capture this image.
What made this image special you may ask. This image, for me, is an pictorial representation of a Wetland. The elements in this one image covers the life cycle of the whole habitat or ecosystem.

Who is fast, The shutter on the Nikon Z9 or the fastest bird on the earth?

It took me a while before I was able to catch this particular frame. Falcon was friendly but same can't be said about the weather. Thick fog and no Sun was making things much harder. One flight of his and we had to restart the process of finding him. Binoculars were not that helpful in fog. But with the collective wisdom of my Photography partners (DrDivakar Rao and Upender Kishore) I managed to get some amazing images.

What is a dabbling duck?
A duck which make sure that you cannot take its image while feeding. How? By showing its tail and going head down in the water.

Mota Bhai of Mota Saal.

Nikon Z9 + Nikon 500mm PF

He is not an adult but started to show the traits of a capable heir to the throne. Patrolling the territory, leaving his scents at important waypoints and taking troubles head-on.

The Royal Family
Nikon D500 with Nikon 500mm PF

The mother and her two sub adult cubs emerged from the tall grass and headed straight to my Safari jeep. Giving me a frame with leading lines, a triangle and perfectly balanced composition. Any flaws, whatever you may find, are of the photographer only.

Black Bittern
Nikon D500 with Nikon 500mm PF

I'll rate Nikon D500 the best camera (cropped sensor) ever. Not easy to capture a black bird, flying towards camera, on the water.
