Immature

I have captured this Immature 'White-throated Swallow' at Marieval Bird Sanctuary, South Africa. I have already posted mature one of this species. One can see the mature bird here:

I prefer early morning birding because this is the time when birds are very active. So before The Sunrise I'm always on my way either inside the Hide or sitting beside water body hiding myself in long grasses. This picture was taken during Sunrise. I like such background for birding, but difficult to manage all time.
Beautiful bird, no doubt.

Hi Srikumar
Yes, beautiful bird, nicely isolated. Despite the lack of bright light we clearly can see the details. Perfect focusing.

Tfs & regards

Hello Srikumar,
Very nice bird. The colors are particularly well-played. Very good shooting position.
Excellent details as usual.
Marius.

Hi Srikumar,
I admire you very much for waking up so early in order to make extraordinary photos - I'm too lazy for doing so, therefore I prefer sunset time. :-) Mesmerizing light, and the bird is truly beautiful, even though the feathers on the wings are not as sharp as on the head. Background fits very well, too, good shot overall. Congratulations!
Kind regards from Ireland, László

Hi Srikumar,

The branch is helping to frame the bird. The point of view is showing the details of the Immatire White-throated Swallow. The shrpness is very good. The light is giving good rendering of the colors. Have a nice day.

Pierre

Very nice shot Srikumar.
