    Default Boubou at Lake nakuru

    Not sure of the ID, I guess this is a Juvenile Boubou or a Stone chat. Kindly help with ID if you can. This was shot with the 7D and 70-200 f/4 L IS USM. The bird was close enough to use the short lens instead of the 100-400 L which was on my other cam.
    1/320
    f/5

    Nice One,Sanjeev. This shot is well exposed and the details of the bird are sharp.The BG is excellent too.Like me you too have hoped that the single blade of grass that's crossing over the leg was absent.Nevertheless this is a great Image.Well done.

    Nice detail. A bit tight on the bottom.

    Sanjeev,
    Excellent image.Very nice pose,lights and details.
    To me it looks like Brown Rock-chat.Where did you photographed?

    Exposure looks good in what appears to have been pretty harsh lighting conditions. You attained nice details in the head. Your ISO seems a tad low for bird photography. If I had a 7D, I would not be setting my ISO below 400 and this would allow you to use either more speed or more depth of field. When you look through the photos in this forum, check out the ISO settings.
