They look like our Pergerine, which mainly feed on ducks. Nice interaction.

Very nice behavioral image. The larger image looks better with respect to the exposure. Fascinating birds.

Thanks everybody, these birds migrate from China to Africa every year unfortunately via India where they are subject to mass slaughter angry
