[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was busy while taking images of small streams at Paptalpani waterfall in Indore,India. It was around 5 pm. This thirsty bird came there tempting me to capture him by affording nice poses. The bird was slightly upside than my standing position & I grabbed this opportunity for capturing low angle shot by just slightly bending down :)

Red-wattled Lapwings are large waders, about 35cm long (somewhat larger than a Rock Pigeon, with longer legs). The wings and back are light brown with a purple sheen, but head and chest and front part of neck are black. Prominently white patch runs between these two colours, from belly and tail, flanking the neck to the sides of crown. Short tail is tipped black. A red fleshy wattle in front of each eye, black-tipped red bill, and the long legs are yellow. In flight, prominent white wing bars formed by the white on the secondary coverts.

Hello Nilesh,
Welcome to TN!
A fine shot of a Red-wattled Plover, taken from a nice low POV with excellent sharpness and lighting.
Here on TN we like to read a note to describe a little about the subject and something about how you took it.
Thanks and best regards,

Hello Nilesh,
Also from me a warm welcome to TN.
What a fantastic start here. The photo is superb. The low point of view, great sharpness and details, beautiful natural and clear colours and fabulous composition and depth of field make this to a very good quality photo. Thanks and I hope to see a lot more of this beauties. I only miss a note.
Have a good weekend,
Peter
