While travelling from Shimla to manali, I was allowed to stop as many times as I want, while I spotted A malbar whistling thrush I asked our driver to stop, but he stoped some 50 meters far ahead. I missed the thrush. Then I saw this beauty who happily posed for me.

Nice sighting. Nice eye contact. Colours of the male have come out well. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Nice sighting. Good that others tolerated your frequent stoppages. :)

Were you expecting it to fly away and hence used the 1/3200 shutter speed? Else, you could have reduced the ISO and the shutter speed. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,

It was hopping here n there. I managed this shot after few tries. Thanks for commenting.
