Thank you sir.. I agree, when I was clicking I was so set on the look of the birds riding on a cattle (the title jumped into my head before I clicked..
) that I really did not think of clicking without the birds. If I do get a chance to see this branch again and if the branch is still standing, I'll definitely try to observe it just as a cattle and then get a shot of it. Unfortunately I do not have a shot without the birds, with me at the moment.
