One of the most strikingly coloured birds of our primary and secondary forests.
Getting rare these days because of habitat loss.

Good record shot as you got the pair well with in the frame.

Nice record. Beautiful birds. Could you get any close ups? Seems the coffee estate was full of birds . Look forward to more.

[Sabyasachi Patra]

Good to see both in the frame. Wish light were better. A narrow aperture would have been good.

Cheers,

Nice shot given the conditions. This would have been wonderful had the light been better. TFS.

Very decent capture. Always watch for minivets in the upper canopy.
