These birds are pretty common in these parts during the winters. But getting a decent shot of this bird perched on a bright pink water lily with a catch is challenging. I had taken this shot in early winters of 2016. Had to keep waiting in the muddy wetlands for more than two hours for this shot. 

Thanks for the stop.

Shot with Nikon D7000 + 300 mm f/4 ( Non VR ) + 1.4X TC

1 / 3200s

f / 5.6

ISO 800
 
At focal length 420 mm

Your investment of time paid off, Biru. Striking color and a beautiful pose of the Wagtail on the water lily.
