The bird seems very far. Behind my house also there is a peepal tree where many coppersmith barbets come to eat the fruits of the tree. This is quite common in and around Mumbai. Thanks for sharing.

Agree with Murugan. One needs a vantage point to photograph these birds from, in this case maybe a building close enough to and at eye level with the canopy of these trees.
There are a few dust spots on the sensor, it might be a good idea to clean them. In the mean time they can be removed by most image processing software.

This Coppersmith barbet was sitting on this tree in a park, there was no building near to this tree, I took this photo by standing under the tree.
It was difficult to me for close shot through my lens.

I already blown the camera body in service center, may be dusts are in my lens. I don't know how to clean, my office time and so much rush in train are the problem for me to clean at service center. From few days I m using Nikon capture Nx. how to edit I don't know. I m using this software for transferring .NEF file to .jpg file.

Thanks

Abhishek Jamalabad and
Murugan Anantharaman for your suggestions.
