Perfect Selection

On 06 03 2022, I was fortunate to capture an image of a Scaly-breasted munia adding another branch to build the nest. Watching the process of nest building from my window, I realised that even bird brain would be able to select a suitable branch to add onto the nest that was on the red wax bamboo tree. I love the well-composed entrance to the nest. I was just at the right time at the right place to capture the habitat of nature.

Securely Perched

On 05 and 06 03 2022 from my window at home, I was fortunate to capture Scaly-breasted munia (special thanks to Prof. Yu Su Ling for the information) in action on the red wax bamboo tree Shooting the images from the vantage angle parallelly opposite the tree in my bedroom, I was able to capture the various moments of the action in good comfort. Actually, I spent two and half days capturing different steps of the action. Started with the camera hand held, and later mounted the camera on a tripod. With the 100mm-400mm + 2X converter G-master lens on SonyA7RIII, I managed to capture numerous striking images. This image shown here is further cropped to a more pleasing format.
