Hi Prachi,

Nice capture of the scally breasted munia. Very well done. Few days back I tried to get snaps of these birds in Pune, but none good enough to post on TN. But you have captured it neatly. Very well done.

TFS,
Kedar

Hi Prachi

Nice capture of the scaly-breasted munia. They are typically in large groups - did you just see one? Good POV, but the image is a tad soft, and contrast can be better.
