Hi,
I shot this bird in Ooty.
Nikon D90
Nikkor 70-300 VR
Aperture priority
F5.6
ISO 400
1/100 s with VR on
300 mm
GIMP
In Ooty, this bird is commonly found in the upper regions of Botanical garden and areas behind it like the Raj bhavan area and the Wood house.
This bird eats insects and often does mid-air acrobatic stunts to catch them. Often the bird moves its head up, down, up, down, left right, left, right in quick succession trying to spot insects...
I dont think it is a resident in Nilgiris, but should be a migrant (Can anyone pls confirm?).
Cheers,
Prem
