Hi all,
I was in Lausanne, CH last month and got some bird images by the lake Geneva shoreline. Here is a portrait taken with the 7D II & 100-400 II @ 400mm
1/1250
f/8
ISO 1600
PS:Please correct me if the bird ID is not right.

Can't help with the ID Sanjeev but a very nice portrait. I like doing these types of shots. Background is excellent and the slightly open bill adds to this. As usual, your detail, tone and colour looks great... although I'd be inclined to select the eye and lift shadows there to bring out the catchlight a bit more. Composition works well for me.
