We are off to Yercaud for the weekend and hope to get some good pictures there. Any specific birding spots we should visit ? Pls do let me know.

Lovely photograph. Sharp. Liked the perch on the corn. You could have tried for a vertical composition, as well. Have a good tip to Yercaud. Look forward to see more photographs from there.

Vaishnavi,
Sharpness if fine. I would have tried a vertical here to get the others stalks in the frame. Try isolating one stalk and composing a vertical. It would look nice. Including multiple stalks gives an idea about the habitat. Don't hesitate to try wider. You will be surprised that they would present a different and nice perspective.

Good that you are going to Yercaud. It is a nice place but offlate the tourist numbers are swelling. There is a narrow road to a temple. I was told someone saw a gaur, mistook as a buffalo and was trying to go closer. Try to explore in an around that area.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi
