A really splendid shot. The focus and exposure seem spot on and you got the whole bird in the frame!
I would've commented before but was on the hunt to ID this one :)

It's the White Throated Bee-Eater

This is a sweet shot. Great pose and background, nice and clear. Yvonne

Yes a lovely shot indeed. I doubt if these birds sit still for more than a nano second so you did really well RK The more neutral background really helps the birds colour to stand out. Great shot.

I LOVE this little guy - what a beautiful little bird!You did a great job of capturing him too: nice DOF, nice composition and lighting too. Is this some kind of Hummingbird? It just makes me smile looking at him - and he's even on a tree :-) CJ
