Whilst getting some intel from the Forest guards, the occasional Treepie would come down hoping for some tasty tit bits, sadly this one was to be disappointed. How I shot this one one stick, no idea as this was not a set-up, but hit worked. A hint more DoF for me, maybe f/8 as I'm not a lover shooting wide open with this lens so close.
Thanks to those who posted or viewed on the last posting.

Note: The subject is fully wild and completely unconstrained. Besides the potential impact of my presence, nothing has been done to intentionally alter or affect the ongoing behavior of the subject and, of course, there has been no use of any form of bait or other form of wildlife attractants (including vocalisations) in the capture of this image.
