Streaked Laughingthrush


Streaked Laughingthrush, originally uploaded by Yogendra174.

This was quite a lucky catch near my hotel in Kausani (Uttarakhand... bear the foothills of himalaya!) This guy was not scared of people and i could get real close (very slowly ofcourse).. early morning 6:22 am.. angular light falling straight on the bird's eye!

look at the sharpness around the eye... (i haven't used any sharpening on this.. rather its SOOC with some crop)..
who says Sigma APO-DG-MACRO 70-300 is SOFT? (i know it is sometimes.. but certainly not this one ;) )

Name.. thanks to www.indiabirds.com/newframe.asp and a bit of searching around!
