Assam, (India)

These photographs were taken at 8.10 am on 7.8.11 when Mr. Arun Kaul was coming out of Salonah Tea Estate (in front of Borghat Bungalow).

The boys who were carrying the bird said the bird had been electrocuted.

These incidents are common in the area – India remains to loose some of its amazing wildlife species to human induced protection mechanisms that protect the garden surroundings / village communities from elephant attacks. Ignoring species like birds get caught up in these snares / protected wires and end up fatal.
