    White-browed Babblers. Another species that live in family groups, very interactive with one another, sharing care for the young and nest building duties, often quite an amusing birds to observe going about their business, but cant help but feel sorry for this poor fellow with the nagging wife

    Funny title and sharpness looks good. Some of the whites seem a little hot.

    TFS,

    Hi Phil, good to see the difference between male and female, and this species has quite a dangerous looking bill. I like how we can see down the throat of the nagging female, and I feel there is a magenta cast in the image.

    Hi Phil,
    I like the behavior! I too,see a magenta cast in this image. As mentioned, whites are hot.
    Lovely BG.
    I find the OOF tail quite distracting and I wish the lower mandible of the "wife" did not intersect with the front bird.
