Growing up in the city of Kota, *Mohib Uddin* became close to birds and
nature from an early age. Take a look at his journey so far -- which
includes a thrilling episode of eagle versus bustard:

"As I took the next turn, I was surprised to see dust clouds ahead of me,
obscuring some kind of vigorous activity. Eventually the dust settled down,
revealing a Bonelli’s eagle struggling to hold a female bustard in his
talons! They became still as soon as they saw the vehicle. I was very
confused about my next step. On the one hand it was a rare natural history
moment which was happening in front of me; and on the other hand, a female
bustard (an important individual of just a few remaining GIBs) was dying
before my eyes."
