This guy is a sulker. They are hard to find and spot. This guy was spotted in the early hours amidst fog and mist, silently perched on this mossy branch. Clicking him under challenging light conditions among other environmental hindrance was really tough though.

Equipments used :

D500, 300 mm / 2.8, 1.4X Teleconverter

1 / 1200 s

f / 4

ISO 800 

At focal length 420 mm.

Thanks for your valuable inputs.

Biru, Beautiful bird and environment. Exposure looks right on. It looks like (guessing) the foliage on the left was behind some other growth. For me, this distracts slightly from the frame. I think you could clone the area on the left and use the background from the right side, (if you do that sort of thing) and it would make the BG seamless?

Beautiful work, Biru. The blurred surroundings set off this Barwing perfectly. Excellent work.
