This was taken at Kabini. The bird was fairly close to the jeep and I had ample time to shoot. I hope I've got the id right?

Udai,
The id is right. It is an Indian Roller and is also known as blue jay or neelkanth. I would like some more brightness to this image. I like the blurred trees in the background and the dry branch on which it is sitting doesn't look distracting. I would have experimented with f8 for some added depth of field. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Sabyasachi. I'll retouch the brightness.

Nice shot.Liked the composition, the bird visible through the dry branches giving it a different look.

Look forward to more.
