Fluffy-backed Tit Babbler (Macronous ptilosus)

FBTBs are generally very easy to shoot in Panti around this time of the year. Habitually hang around underneath thick undergrowth of fern near swampy area or adjacent to streams. My fav spot is at the Swamp before the Elephant Trail of Panti.

Although they are easy target, but getting a full body shot can be frustrating at times, as they prefer to hide partly in the bush while responding to your calls. Fortunately they do like to perch clean for a brief moment just once in a while so you have to be quick to act within seconds.

This image was captured today with full side profile at a distant of 10' with D3s 500mm VR F4 ISO 3200 f11 1/80s.
