Brown Breasted Flycatcher

[Murugan Anantharaman]

Last time when I went to Tadoba (in March), I got off the train at Wardha and drove down to Tadoba. Since my train had reached Wardha early in the morning, decided to take the detour impromptu. The outskirts of Wardha offered a lot of birding options and this image was made enroute to Tadoba in the outskirts of Wardha.

Nikon D7k, f/5.6, SS 1/3200, ISO 1250, ec +.3, 420mm (Nikon 300mm f4+1.4x TC). Slightly cropped to exclude a branch.

Pretty,delicate bird.Seems to be perched at the end of a leaf twig, indicative of its small size.Nicely captured.Thanks for sharing.

Nice catch light on the eye. Adding a slight more space from the bottom to the top would have been nice. Liked the clean background and the ruffled feathers. Thanks for sharing.

Nice capture.... I went to wardha about two years before, explored Bor wild life sanctuary. Wardha also gives some good birding opportunity. But for me Tadoba was no luck as far as Tiger sightings is concern.
The dry leave at the bottom right is bit distracting. Thanks for sharing.

Cute bird. Since you were shooting at 1/3200, reducing the shutter speed by a stop and using f8 may have been better here. The focus appears to be slightly ahead of the bird. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
