Rare Catch - Abbots Babbler

[Debasis Bose]

These birds are very shy and rarely seen in open. We decided to photograph the bird and kept on trying to shoot over two days. After hearing the melodious call of the male, singing most likely to impress his mate in the bush, we waited for about 10 minutes. When we got the opportunity and after some real acrobatics managed few good shot.

Good that you got a clear view of the bird. A narrow aperture would have been nice. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
