Welcome to IndiaWilds..!!

Nice first post. Liked the perch and the head turn. An off-centered framing with more space on the left in the direction the bird is looking would enhanced the composition further. Thanks for sharing. Look forward to more.

Looks nice. Was it a overcast day? Slightly less space on the left would have been nice. Too often it becomes very difficult to differentiate between the various species which look similar except for slight variations which can only reveal on closer observations. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Bosipota wetland is now become a good birding place..but Dankuni wetland in Hoogly, as far as I know, are going to be filled up by promoters..The Bunting's habitat has been almost destroyed there...
