Nice to see this one feeding on a jackfruit. Was this in someone's estate? The light appears to be pretty low. Else, I would have liked some more depth of field ie. use of narrow aperture. Did you click one without the 1.4x TC? Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Hi Sabyasachi,
This was close to the Boat Jetty in Thekkady. By the time I detached the TC, some people armed with iPhones had already scared it off.

Nice to see this colourful squirrel. Nice behaviour captured. Always cautious (not to waste food), starts feeding from the bottom, as the five-striped palm squirrel does in my small backyard consuming ripe mangoes, so that the fruit does not fall on the ground.Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Nice close-up, good eye contact. Well done under low light conditions. TFS

Nice image Bibhav, the act of eating the fruit has been captured well. Thanks for sharing.
