Well, actually it's an Indian Saras Crane, driving the Bluebull away from the nest.
Thank you so much for your kind attention & views!

Great action image, Jagdeep. From the thumbnail I thought it was a photoart image with the wings added in postprocessing.

Fantastic! If only the bird's leg were behind the bluebull's and a bit more to the left, this would have been 'perfected'.

just a cool picture. Good exposure and DOF, to say nothing of the unique subject

Outstanding image, Jagdeep! The crane is almost perfectly positioned behind the nilgai!
