Such cute birds. Nice eye contact from both. How is the birding at Naukuchiatal? Lovely capture. Thanks for sharing.

Nice eye contact. Good to know that you had visited Naukuchiatal. I would have loved a bit more details. Did you do any noise reduction and sharpening? Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

@ Mrudul ji, Naukuchiatal is a good birding place. We had a plan to visit Binsar WLS. Reached Nainital on 18th Oct afternoon amidst heavy rain and landslide. We canceled to proceed further towards Almora and stayed in Bhimtal for two days, then we went to Naukuchiatal. I'll share some images latter.

@ Sabyasachi da, the birds were in shade. I did not do any noise reduction or sharpening. only level, shadow/highlight correction done.
