Eagles flew away from the lake and followed both snakes and fish, but could not keep their prey for long and the snake then rushed back to the lake with the fish in his mouth.
The rare sight is recorded by photographer Hemant Kumar as he watches birds at Ameenpur area in Hyderabad, India.
"I saw eagles flying over the lake to hunt fish. When it rushed into the water to catch fish, the snake immediately rushed to fight," the 35-year-old photographer said."The fight is fierce in the air before the eagle accepts to lose and fly away."
