Red Avadavat - Amandava amandava
This is the best picture of this bird i ever taken. As i don't have big lens so i depending very much on my digiscoping.
Social, living in small flocks. Frequents scrub,grassland,cultivated areas and paddy fields.
Setup: Kowa telescope + 30x wide with Nikon Coolpix P300
Rufous-collared Kingfisher-Actenoides concretus
An uncommon bird of lowland and hill forests up to 1500mm.
I use to struggle to take a good picture of this bird when i still have my old compact camera Sony W300, but when the new
Nikon Coolpix P300 came out, no problem to digiscope this bird since you can up the ISO to 400.
