Canon 7D+700mm,1/400s,f5.6,ISO 800....shot on diffused forest canopy light.

They visit our thick forest vegetation of Dooars (Northern terrain part of West Bengal) to breed from far South-eastern Asia. They seem to perch on thick sturdy branches mostly as seen.
Thanks for looking,comments welcome.

Wow, must be a dream come true to be able to photograph a species like this. Great comp, pose and BG. Really like the "forrest feel" of the light.
