Hi Bhibhav

Good one, considering the limitation of focal length of the equipment. As i had said earlier, i am amazed at your stalking skills.

Both of us are now in the race, as Saby had set up a sort of a challenge earlier (when he said - "one day, you will land a good full frame shot of the Oriole without a TC, for this is a very quick bird")

Can't agree with him better. This is a quick, chirpy and always on the move bird and if you can stalk this one so close, i know for sure i have tough competition. Keep stalking and may the best man win.

Rajan

Well to be a bit more honest, it is a crop (arnd 75%) of the original image.
