[Finally got this one after many visits to ckbs...didn't expected to spot the master of camoflage so easily...
I took 10-15 closeups while the bird waited patiently, after this, my last shot, the bird was till sitting there while I moved away from it letting it sleep in peace...
Moral - Don't disturb a bird or use flash, and still you could be rewarded with a nice shot... ]
