Green-backed Tit

Green-backed tit (Parus monticolus)
Another foray into bird photography with the 100mm :D. There were plenty of these around and I decided to try my luck. Spent a few minutes stalking this one, and managed to make this image when I was about 8 feet away from the bird. More of a record shot.

Nagni, Himachal Pradesh. Dappled morning light again. Regret the distracting branch, but this was the clearest view I could get, and the only moment the bird was in sunlight.

Thanks, C&C welcome.

Nice to see a bird photograph taken with a 100mm lens. Good you are making the most of it :). I think there was a slight movement, so is the AF point locked on the leaves at the top? You did well in the given conditions. Thanks for sharing. Look forward to more.

Mrudul, you are right about the focus.
