DescriptionMy normal lens focused on the sparrows on the roadside pecking food grain, I was missing something and I was waiting, till suddenly this Black bird, a Mainah, landed right in the middle. In that split second the smaller birds created the required space for the Mainah to have its fill. As I instantaneously clicked, the sound of the shutter scared the Mainah away giving me my God sent shot.'
