Nice sighting. The perch and the eye contact is nice. A very elusive bird, I have still not been able to take a decent photograph even though I have sighted it couple of times. When was this photographed? Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Mrudul, this was photographed on 30-06-2012, in the morning.

Nice. not easy to reach small birds with 18-135. need to get very close which is tough unless you use a hide.

I agree that the focal length was really short unless you place the camera on a place and use it with a remote trigger.
