GRUBS UP... A bird swoops in to steal a grub from another bird in a surprise attack. The Black Drongo stole the food of the Common Hoopoe in Guptipara, West Bengal. Prasenjit Dutta, 39 said, "I approached the Common Hoopoe after spotting it at a local playground. Since the hoopoe digs the ground with its beak for food, I lay in the field waiting to observe its activity better. It was on its own and the bird did not pay much attention to me." "After about half an hour had passed suddenly a Black Drongo attacked the Common Hoopoe. The bird was not ready for such a moment. At the same time I was not well prepared for it. The Drongo attacked so as to steal and eat the prey of the Common Hoopoe. This happened so fast and I took the photos I could. I was happy that some images came into focus. This really made my day."

Photos taken in Guptipara, West Bengal. I approached the Common Hoopoe after spotting it at a local playground. Since the hoopoe digs the ground with its beak for food, I lay in the field waiting to observe its activity better. Hoopoe was on his own though. The bird did not pay much attention to me.
