Arrow - Marked Babbler (Turdoides jardineii)

I had captured this 'Arrow - Marked Babbler' at Kruger National Park during our staying at Pretoriuskop Rest Camp. Very difficult to capture this species due to their fast jumping. It's a midium-sized Babbler and they live in social groups. You could see the arrow shaped streaking on its breast.

Hi Srikumar,

I appreciate the shadow on the side of the bird. The point of view is showing the details of the Arrow-Marked Babbler. The sharpness is very good. The ligt is giving nice tints to the colors. Have a nice day.

Hi Srikumar.If you managed to capture this hysterical bird so perfectly that jumps all the time, you are also ready to photograph some nervous butterfly (smile). A photo of exceptional quality once again showing this interesting species with amazing plumage details.Have a nice week and thanks,Luciano

Hello Srikumar,
Very nice capture of this beautiful Babbler. This one has beautiful eye.
Try to visit India/Latpanchar/Sattal.

Hello Srikumar,
A very interesting bird with shape like the Common Cuckoo, of course with different colors.
Very good focus and details.

Hello Srikumar,
Beautiful photo of this Arrow-marked Babbler in great natural colors and excellent sharpness. Nice pose with eye contact. It looks a bit like my photo of this species from 2008.
Regards,
Peter

Hi Sri,
Fantastic photo, and the direction of the light makes it even more interesting. A stunner! Perfectly sharp bird in front of the perfectly blurred background. Beautiful eye contact + excellent usage of the shadow as a complementer subject. Bravo!
Kind regards from Ireland, László
