India; Agra, Bandhavgarh, Pench and Delhi, 2011: Bandhavgarh and Pench National Parks, India, 2011: Indian Leopard

We heard the monkey alarm calls so started looking around for the tiger that we were searching for, when one of our guides spotted something even more precious. An elusive leopard. The leopard ran through the bush and came out behind us on the road. I was lucky to be able to get a quick shot of him as he leaped on to the road behind us, then into the bush on the other side. This leopard was my guide's first leopard sighting of the year and it was already November.
