• Story of the image

  The photo was taken during the day when I was walking along the river bank. The encounter was accidental. The behavior of the birds was interesting. They all gathered under a large tree and seemed to be discussing something. Then the bird (the one in the photo) came out from under the tree and stopped right in front of me. The other birds were running into the forest to hide at that moment. I carefully approached the bird and took a few shots. Then it calmly flew away.
