Red-billed Leiothrix

[Dileep Anthikad]

Dear all,

Yet another one from our Himalayan trip (Sattal). One pair was spotted busy taking bath in a small stream. They were so restless and therefore it's difficult to freeze their movements.

Camera: Nikon D300s & 500mm VR + TC14E

Settings f/5.6, 1/160, ISO-400 and Tripod & Wimberley Head II

Regards,
Dileep

Beautiful colours. One feels good looking at such bright and nice colours. Unfortunately it always becomes difficult to get a higher shutter speed in Sattal as most of the times the light is low. Thanks for sharing.
