overcast sky & the flock of birds. they came right across the road that i was travelling on, they appeared to be in hurry so i lost no time. pulled out 7D with 100-400mm on and fired. later i discovered the parameters as this, F/5.6, 1/350, iso 800, EC +1, fl 400mm & shutter priority mode. ID of the bird not known. image is cropped. for C&C please.

Nice rare image under trying conditions.The beautiful bird,in my view,is Long-tailed Broadbill (Psarisomus dalhousiae). Grateful to you for taking us so often to the paradise of colourful birds.Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Lovely colours. Quite rare to sight or photograph these birds. You did well in the given conditions. Its good you had a high ISO set, else it would have been difficult to photograph. Thanks for sharing.
