LBJ Skulker - Vienna, Austria

Ditto with a couple more during the 3 hour walk in woodland/fields a couple of days ago. Birds would respond strongly but refuse to show. Any ideas ? Great singers/song...- Frogfish

Nepal - Black Lored or Yellow Cheeked Tit ?
From Nagarnot. The black lore and lack of a yellow patch over the bill seems to indicate Black Lored but this is a new bird for me so I'm not sure on the ID at all. Thanks ! Kevin- Frogfish

Just a short write-up on what was billed as a nice 8 nights break for my wife and I (16-24th October 2014) with hopes of some landscape photography and maybe 2-3 early morning walks for me to sate my bird-lust.
