Oriental Magpie Robin (Copsychus saularis)

Capturing a new bird can be very encouraging to Bird photography newbies like me and if both the male and female are clicked then the joy of the photographer knows no bounds...what do you say people?

You might be wondering as to why all the drama in this post?

Well, hear is the answer..I captured both the male and female Oriental Magpie Robin, both on a different day though after numerous hours of waiting and n number of clicks I could finally get both of them framed.

Here are the beauties.

Female Oriental Magpie Robin

Male Oriental Magpie Robin

Pardon the angle of the male bird but that's the closest I could get to the male bird. But the female bird was friendly enough to let me take a good click may be just for a minute.

An important point to remember in capturing small birds like Robin or much smaller birds like Fly catchers and sparrows is to not use the digital zoom cause they can haze the clarity and any post processing will not give the desired sharp image. 

Another point of note in Bird photography is to point our focus on the eye of the bird, especially when capturing birds of a monotonous shade, otherwise the picture lacks to capture the interest of the observers.
