This koel came to our papaya tree and started munching.It comes often and I could get only a dark image(used shutterr priority) and as result used ex compensation.

Lovely image. Agile look. The colours, tinge of brown on black with white spots look natural. Nice perch on the flowering papaya plant. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Nice eye contact. The focus seems off shankar sab.

Nice to see it on a papaya tree. Good eye contact. As you said the image got underexposed, giving a +EC would have helped. There is some noise in the background. Thanks for sharing.

I agree with the previous comments. During my childhood days we had a papaya plan with crow nest in it and koel had given eggs in it after throwing the crow eggs. When I used to go on top of my house, the crows were attacking us as the nest was close by, without realising that they were guarding eggs of a Koel. :)
