Thanks Bhupesh, you are right, I shot this in Mysore zoo, bird was sitting on a tree branch in an enclosure made out of steel mesh (as you can see in the background), just could not avoid it...
What a terrific capture! Such a beautiful bird! And he does have a BIG bill!! Love the colors. The zoo is one of my favorite places to visit and fortunately here in Seattle we have a wonderful one! Hope your week is off to a great start, Sam! Enjoy!
