Common greenshank - Tal Chappar

[Kaustuv Chatterjee]

This was shot in Tal Chappar again. Spotted this while trying to re sight a pair of Sparrow hawks in the vicinity while a Black Francolin was calling away lustily somewhere!

Shot with the Nikon D90, Nikkor 300 mm f4 + TC 14E, at 420 mm, ISO 220 (Auto), 1/1600s - F/6.3, -0.3 EV

Is the Af point locked on the body? Seems it moved just when you were about to click, so the eye is not in focus. Slight more space on the right would be good. Thanks for sharing.

A bit more head turn would have been nice. That would have also resulted in a glint in the eye. Looks like there are some dust spots in the sensor? Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
