Tickell's Blue...

The song of this bird was widely reverberating in the camp Leo at Gir pride resort. This Handsome singer was bold and readily giving some singing shots.

Nice sighting of the colourful bird. Beautiful framing. Nice to hear that you enjoyed its morning song in Gir.........as I am enjoying the Koel's call every morning here. Thanks for sharing. SaktiWild

Thanks Shaktida... In growing urbanisation that too in fastest growing cities like Surat... to hear the Koel's call even, is a tough ask now a days. But in todays Times of India all I read is that.. In the environment summit It was declared that Gujarat has increased its green cover by 20% in recent times.. Probably only ministers knows it better..

A very cute and colourful bird. The vertical composition looks fine. Placing the bird as per the rule of thirds position would enhance the composition further. Thanks for sharing.

Good to hear that you had a great time at Gir. Opening up the shadows a bit would strengthen the image. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
