Hi Jitendra,

Welcome to IndiaWilds..!!

A Rare bird to start. Nicely photographed. Sharp. The foreground is a bit cluttered, but cant change that.

Look forward to more..

Hi, welcome to Indiawilds.
I find it difficult to believe what I'm seeing.:) This is a great record shot.
The fellow must be suffering from lack of adequate camouflage...:D

thats amazing.... where was this in Satara ?

[Bibhav Behera]

Nice documentation. Would have like more sharpness adn less clutter. But when you see sch a subject, I know how hard it is to keep an eye on all this... :)

Jitendra,
Great sighting. You can mention the date and the details of the place so that it will serve as a record.

Cheers,
