Rarity - Rufous necked Laughing Thrush

[Debasis Bose]

Not a great image shot early morning in Manas, Rufous necked Laughing thrush. These birds are difficult to photo shoot as they are extremely agile and shy, hardly comes out of the bushes.

My 600 mm gun was in the case, so had to use my 300 F4 FL ED lens with Nikon D4s that was in my hand, shot @ 300 F8, ISO 800, 1/400s

Tough conditions. A positive exposure compensation of about 1 stop would have helped here. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
