Nice sighting of this colourful bird. I am yet to photograph it :(. Nice perch and composition. So which places you visited in Burma? Thanks for sharing.

Nice bird. The catchlight in the eye helps.

Since images from Indian subcontinent are allowed, look forward to some of the bird images from there.

Mridul, I was based at Yangon and did move around a bit.My son is heading the the the World bank delegation there.Unfortunately Sabyasachi,I was not carrying my camera and lens.I was not aware we could post pictures of fauna outside India.Will definitely carry my lenses for the next trip there.The fact that I was going to Australia afterwards forced me to restrict my luggage weight.
