I could get some images of Malkoha that day, preying on lizards, a few of them from close quarters. This image had the Malkoha in Display.

Dear Shyamala, Roopak., Mrudul and Saktida; Thanks for viewing and sharing your views. I should be posting more images, will try my best. I just returned from a trip to Easter Ghats (AP - Orissa border) and it has been one of my best birding trip till now. I had a glimpse of heaven in those dense jungles :)
Great to see this. I don't have shots of this beauty. Once in Chinar wildlife sanctuary I had sighted it in the open but by the time I took out my long lens, it was in deep shade. :) So love to see more of this bird. Is this cropped? Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
Sabyasachi
Dear Sabya sir, the bird was a little far, i have cropped from left and bottom, may be 20%, to bring it forward. Yes, I have some good images for close, will post them. Luckily 3 weeks ago, in a village in Bidar I got to see it again, very close sitting pretty in a branch clear of foliage, I and my kid were mesmerized and delayed taking out the camera. Thanks for the feedback.
