    Great capture!
    Where have you been? chasing frogmouths ? :D
    Is this a couple...if so I think the grouchy one is the female :)
    Btw tell us how you captured this night pic? (it says ISO 100 and 1/30...I thought you needed a higher ISO and a slower shutter for these kind of pictures...)

    Thanks for your lovely comments everyone!

    @Paresh,
    Good to see you back mate! how are you doing?

    @Frieda,
    It should be, I think you know the reason..lol

    @Patali,
    Yes, but they look prettier than I thought … :P

    No, this is not a night pic. I took this around 1 p.m :D

    @Patali & MD,
    First of all thousand apologies for incomplete exif! I forgot to include 2 more info in it :D
    Flash : On
    Exposure compensation : -2

    I used higher ISO and it gave too much of noise in the pic (it was just before a heavy rain and also we were deep in the forest as well). Since I was bit far away from the subject I thought to use the flash without disturbing the birds. So that’s how I managed to get a decent pic at a lower ISO and a slow shutter speed. Hope you get what I’m trying to say here …. =:D

    Ahh !! I forgot to mention the pint of blood that I donated to my leech friends too … :D
