Black-headed Munia

On 13th May'15 i was at my uncle's home Valsad for photography as many birds come at backyards.beside backyard there is a sugar cane farm and water pump was running. sudden hear some un-usual sound near running water and zoomed towards sound. they were Black-headed Munias.
its very difficult to shot them coz there was iron wire fencing, many branches n leafs were interrupting and  Munias were inside the sugar cane leafs, though somehow i managed on tripod and taken 2-3 shots.(mobile pic was added in last)

Common iora Female

when i have kit lens i had captured this bird but image was not sharp.even this image is not crisp as that time it was windy so m unable to focus handheld.
when i hear its calling sound,i was searching to frame but due to its size i didn't find them because i was away. finally i found and get a good unnoticeable distance and taken 2 shots of male bird and fly away. after 5min the female bird came taken 4-5 photo but not up to my mark.
