Common Iora

[Murugan Anantharaman]

It was quite warm in the afternoon and we were in our hotel in Masinagudi, looking out of the window I saw this bird. The Common Iora is fairly common and can be seen across the country and is a frisky little bird. In the place where I currently live the Green Iora is more common and we don't really get to see the common variety. Could not get the bird in its natural perch unfortunately.

Nice one! Actually, you are right, this green bird can't see usually. So, thanks for sharing.

There is loss of details in this image. Did you upload a much larger image as the final image is only 108kb.

[Murugan Anantharaman]

Yes, Sabyasachi. I uploaded an image which was 197kb, not sure how it has resized itself.

Cute bird. Its difficult to get birds on natural perch these days . Nice sighting. Thanks for sharing.

Murugan,
Did you upload an image longer than 1024 pixels? In that case, the software resizes it.

[Murugan Anantharaman]

Yes Sabyasachi, the image was 1363 x 903 pixels. I guess that's why it must have trimmed in automatically and hence the loss of details.I'll keep this in mind going forward, I should have paid attention as this has been explained multiple times by you and Mrudul. Thanks for resolving the issue.
