Nice to see this species. Good eye contact. I think a horizontal framing with less space at the bottom would be good. Some more details would have enhanced the composition further. Thanks for sharing.

thanks Mrudul and regards, All the pictures have some crop the composition can be changed, this particular bird is completely hidden in the reeds very difficult to spot and photograph

Nice to get this rarity. I guess is was a bit far. It is a bit easier to get them in chilika lake in the winter. Yet to film them. I will be do it this winter definitely. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
