Have you ever seen a cobra flying 15-20 feet above the water, suddenly fluttering, fluttering its wings at a point in the air and then closing its wings and jumping into the water at lightning speed?  That is our Kabro Kalkalio.  Such a flight of his is an unforgettable sight.  If you feel the need to get a clearer idea of ​​the fish in the water below while flying like this, come down five to seven feet straight and stand there and observe.  The wings have been shown exclusively to give a feeling of extent.  And go ahead and start the previous action again.  The whole disappears for a moment after jumping into the water and then immediately with the fish in the beak

Get out and sit on a cliff or swallow a fish.  Rakhe believed that he would find fish at every turn.  Even if you jump into the water, you often have to return empty-handed.  But he continued his work without giving up.

How is this  His forehead, head and bouquet and neck are black.  White lines in it.  Neen white.  The beak is the belt behind the eye.  Beak black, slightly long and strong.  Two black stripes on the male's chest, one for the female and one also broken in the middle.  The rest are like males in other ways.

It is not difficult to identify Kabra Kalkalia from his above mannerisms and appearance.  Not shy by nature.  If you get close to it, it will not fly away quickly.  Sitting comfortably on a high-rise or nearby electricity / telephone line from a lake, river or lake shore, moving his head and neck up and down and looking carefully at the water.  Kilik while flying ... Kilik speaks.  Once you get acquainted with his voice, you will realize his presence even before you see it.  Kabaro Kalkalio is found in a number of two on many reservoirs.  If the cubs had hatched, the rare one would have dug a three-and-a-half feet long hole in the cliff of the river-lake along with four-five.
