Greater Coucle with Eucalyptus leaf....#23

[Satish Ranadive]

Greater Coucle carry Eucalyptus leaves to the nest and lined the leaves inside the nest in order to keep insects and other infectious insects away from the babies.
This is generally happened in rainy season. This image is just before the take off, hence the shutter Priority.
Basic editing. Cropped for composition.
Eye lighten. NR applied to BG.

You captured the bird at a good moment. I like the facial expression on the bird and also the perch. The image appears a little flat on my screen

Great timing, I wish the shadows were not there, but overall a nice image
