Spilornis cheela
The crested serpent eagle, as its name suggests, is a specialist reptile eater which hunts over forests, often close to wet grassland,for snakes and lizards. It is placed along with the snake eagles of the genus Circaetus in the subfamily Circaetinae.It is found mainly over areas with thick vegetation both on the low hills and the plains. This species is a resident species, but in some parts of their range they are found only in summer.It was too far to get a good picture.
