Beautiful bird. Exciting to see it here.

I would recommend to crop in tighter on the bird so it is the main subject in the picture.

Keep 'em flying,

Lovely shot! I second the sentiment that a tighter crop would make the bird stand out much better.

By the way, what does BNP send for? I would guess something National Park?

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.

Yet another colorful and exotic member of the kingfisher clan! Well done!

This is White-breasted or Smyrna Kingfisher presumably in Bharatpur National Park in the Rajasthan region of n India, where they are very common. My preferred common name 'Smyrna' Kingfisher comes from the Latin for the species which is Halcyon smyrnensis...:-)
