An oriental magpie robin with nesting material, shot at the resort we were in.

Birds, I am positve, never attend college- but still can construct a home:) They are self-made engineers, who can architect their own homes with no academic degree! Quite fascinating, ain't it? :)

f5.6, 1/250sec, ISO 1600, EV +0.7, 400mm.
canon 60D, canon 100-400 L IS f4.5-5.6

Now, the ISO 1600, I feel is justified because the light in this case was sufficient but the moment the bird got hold of the twigs, it would fly and perch on a near by tree where even the 1600 ISO was insufficient:( The positve EV was a mistake though.

Nice image Bhargava, The background looks good here. I would however pull back on the sharpening here as the artifacts are visible. Thanks for sharing.
