Rufous Sibia, by Saniar Rahman Rahul

In the beautiful clam forests of the Lower to Middle Himalayas, you can find a bird named Rufous Sibia, very small in size but elegant with color. It is from the the Timaliidae family and feeds on berries and insects. I took this photograph from the forest of Punakha, Bhutan, from my Bhutan-Bangladesh Birding and Photo Exhibition trip.

Saniar Rahman Rahul was the first winner for ‘Photo of the Month Award’ in June 2010. He was fascinated by seeing his father taking pictures with a camera while his family was in Iraq during his childhood. Later in life, in 1997, while he became very much attached with his profession of ‘graphic design’, Rahul rediscovered the creative side of photography. He started his career as a professional graphic designer in October of 1995, in a pre-press house called Color Scan, which is one of the pioneers in the pre-process printing media in Bangladesh. Afterwards, he moved to Power Point, another pre-press house. Before he finally settled into advertising, he also worked in an IT company called Abtab IT. Moving to advertising from printing media was a big step for him. In 2005, he joined G3, a special wing of Gray Worldwide. Two years later, he moved to Paper Rhyme. Now he is working as the Art Director of Grey World Wide, one of the ten largest advertising agencies in the world.
