Four Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis) had ‘surrounded’ it and were watching intently, hoping to gain access to the prey as well (possible group Kleptoparasitism). They did not seem afraid of the raptor and were interrupting its feeding. It is possible that the prey caught was too big to carry away. -Amar Taxonomic Notes : Select an image: 1.
