• Story of the image

  The chicks were sitting on a branch close to the road, and were waiting for the two adults to feed them. As soon as the adult approached with food, the chicks got excited and opened their beaks wide. This image was taken as one of the adult was busy feeding the chick. The photo was taken from my vehicle at about 15:45 in the afternoon as the light was getting softer. I focussed on the chicks using a small f-stop, and starting taken photos as soon as their beaks opened.
