Mr. Jerdon mentions, "I have found this bird in Goomsoor, 
Travancore, Malabar, and the Baramahl. It almost always affects 
woody situations, preferring lofty jungle, over which it may often be 
observed slowly sailing, or seated on a lofty tree, watching for its 
prey. Its chief food is snakes, which I have found in every instance 
that came under my observation. Mr. Elliot says, ' it utters a plain- 
tive cry, feeds on snakes, lizards, and insects.' " — (Madr. J. L. S. X. 
p. 70.) Mr. Blyth says it is " extremely common in Lower Bengal, 
preferring a jungly country, with shallow jheels and tanks, where 
it preys much on frogs, which it clutches in the mud." — (Cat. B. 
Mus. A. S. Beng. p. 19.)
