[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Pied Bushchat (Saxicola caprata) is a small passerine bird found ranging from West and Central Asia to South and Southeast Asia. About sixteen subspecies are recognized through its wide range with many island forms. It is a familiar bird of countryside and open scrub or grassland where it is found perched at the top of short thorn trees or other shrubs, looking out for insect prey. They pick up insects mainly from the ground, and were, like other chats, placed in the thrush family Turdidae, but are now considered as Old World flycatchers.

Tip of my hat to you, Chandra, this is superb and so sharp and fantastic. I thought you had taken the picture with a super 500mm prime lens... well, amazing isnt't it, what we can do with talent. We don't need those long lens to make a great picture worth of National Geographic! Superb doof (I hope I do not hurt anyone, I just mean that your picture is Top!), beautiful background, bravo!
