COMMENTS WELCOME

nice to see this shot ... how did u managed it ... I have not seen woodpecker of this type ... thanks for sharing ... those which r in Bengal r different ... regards ...

Lovely shot Rabinder, I have never seen a woodpecker like this.

Thanks Biplab and Birte for your comments. There was pair of these,and I had to wait for some time till the return of this one to the place on dried up tree, where they had made a round hole i.e. their nesting place...

the only wood pecker i knew to this moment was woody wood pecker :)

thank you for sharing.nice one my friend.

Hi Rabinder,

this is not a woodpecker, but a barbet; most likely either the Brown-headed or White-cheeked Barbet. Cant say for sure as the face is dark on this view.

nice shot.

cheers,

Sridhar

..very nice Rabinder..

Nice shot! I'd just like to see him a little more illuminated... He is completly different of woodpecker I know... He looks more like papagaio (don't sure about the word in english):). Thank you for sharing!

nicely composed..like Draria said The bird need a little detail and highlight...maybe you could try some work on curve and contrast..Beside that it is a nice picture..Bao

hi rabinder,

i wonder how you managed to get this shot! itz really nice. But i feel the bird needs a little more highlight.

 

THANKS my dear friends Okmen, Sridhar, M.B.CORAL, Daria, Baogiang and Bharat for your encouraging comments. As regards the details of bird in shadow area, it was not possible for me to capture it from any other angle, because the bird was very sensitive and gave me only one minute out of one hour time, to click only one image, first I saw this bird coming out of this hole, which I missed to click...

Dear Rabinder, you captured a nice shot of this bird, I feel I have a similar bird in my portfolio and you have commented on the same. Lovingly Satvinder.
