Thank you very much... Abhirup
Nice to could photograph while it was feeding. Liked the patterns made by the stalk. Did you try a vertical composition? I feel with the vertical grass stalks, a vertical composition too would have looked good. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks a lot M. Godbole madam....I did not try to click a vertical composition with grass...but surely next time I shall try.
Nice.Like the eye contact and display of the birds feeding habits.the bill structure shows what it is meant for. it is a lovely sight to see them fly in groups and bombarding the paddy fields.
