Just back from short raya holiday, and start working today.
Hari Raya Aidil-Fitri never stop me from bird photography. I got this at 10.08am, just after raya prayer at my mother-in law's backyard.
This Long-tailed Parakeet always show-up during Raya holiday (the same species I captured last raya holiday)
Long-tailed Parakeet (Psittacula longicauda), female (left) and male (right).
Have a look for more bird pictures at the Bird Photography Weekly @ Birdfreak.

Birds look good, but the same is not true about the sky.

Wow!, raya also birding?. Your inlaw backyard much be a bird paradise.
Hi Tabib,
A pity that you did not get a clear blue sky behind these magnificent parakeet! It is a nice shot thought.
Holiday is over, back to the usual life again.
Working, and bird watching, and ???
Those parakeets are so beautiful!
Tabib excellent shot. Love how you captured it on the white background, usually one would get the back light. Thanks for sharing, Anna :)
Wonderful parakeets !!!!.
Maybe I try birding but my len is zuiko 70-300mm which is not very sharp .
Thanks ALL for your comments.
There were six parakeets perched at the dead mango tree that day, but due to narrow angle telephoto I only managed to shot four.
The Sun was at the back of the subject at 10am, so I have to compensate the exposure to +2EV with added flash.
I one where the birds preening, flash failed to fired, that caused the total white background after post-processed. The two pictures above were with flash, so slightly better blue background.
Nice hari raya bird u have.. havent seen any parakeet in the wild yet
Wonderful parakeets.;)
