Hi Ram Prakash Choudhary !
I understand that you are new to NPN, please post the bird images in Avian Critiques, thanks !

Hi Ram. Since you were using bird eye AF, I’m rather surprised that the eye of the female didn’t lock on-at least she looks just the least bit soft. However, I just noticed your shutter speed-that’s the kind of shutter speed they used back in the beginning days of bird photography with glass plates! So congratulations on getting usable images. You don’t mention what camera you’re using. If you’ll tell us that, we can probably give you some good lens suggestions. The Sigma and Tamron 150-600 mm zooms are both quite good and “relatively” inexpensive, but a lot of the camera makers have come out with similar lenses for pretty reasonable prices as well. With a crop sensor camera, they’re awesome, but even with full frame you can get close enough for great bird photography.

Given your shutter speed on this one, I’m guessing you’re mostly in darker areas. You should be able to bring your iso up quite a bit. Most modern cameras with the software now available, will let you get by up to at least iso 3200 and I’ve posted images taken at iso12800. At the higher iso values it’s pretty critical that you get your exposure right because you’ll amplify that noise if you have to brighten the image in post processing.
