This morning we saw a serval near Ngoitok marsh area feeding on dead bird in tall grass,we could not have seen it if it was not for few Grey crowned Cranes which kept it mobbed all the time,among this flock of about 9 to 10 birds,one crane was seriously trying to fly over the serval to scare him off,this made believe he/she was partner looser.
