Black-thighed Falconet

My bird of the day but I need to redo again.
Timing was wrong, hence the harsh lighting.
Good news is, this Tuesday is a holiday

These fellas should be the smallest raptors in Malaysia and this pair happens to be nesting too.

Thanks Saiful

Aiyo, you belum tahu how many pusingan I did around that tree to find the best high angle BG.
The movement of the cloud did not help too & I also got many with white BG.
