Got an opportunity to photograph these lovely birds from a hide.

These birds were coming to take a dip in water along with munias. I found it difficult to alienate one or two birds from the rest for a frame, sometimes too many is also a problem 🙂

Setting: The light was decent and the bird gave enough time to photograph. Shot at around 5PM

The camera rested on a bean bag. I waited for the head to turn because for most of the time it was looking towards me.

I personally like the perc and the catchlight.

This was shot in Tamhini Ghat in Maharashtra. It is a couple of hours from Pune and around 3 hours from Mumbai.
