Greater Coucle with Eucalyptus leaf....#2

[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.
