Indian Robin

Indian Robin is such a common bird around the neighborhood. And yet I hardly ever managed a decent picture. I know this one is a F5.6 picture and gives no clue about the habitat but then this one was sitting on a boundary wall and the background is of a wall of a house.

I have noticed that I am shooting much more in the manual mode these days. When a bird is kind enough to pose for a longer period of time, I switch to an auto mode to click a quick picture. Earlier it was the other way round!

    Thanks Chitra. 😀

    Tarun, there were many birds in the vicinity. 😀

    No Shrinidhi a Bulbul looks like this. http://blogs.gonomad.com/traveltalesfromindia/2010/01/red-vented-bulbul-in-the-backyard.html

    It was the same for me too Lakshmi only recently I have noticed that I am using manual mode much more. But not that it makes automatically for better pictures. 😀
