Challenged ...
In Jan. 2011 ... we
had gone
for a Bird-census, to
Pong Dam Reservoir Sanctuary
... a Himalayan
Ramser Site
We had to do
it in two days
moving through
the reservoir
in a boat ... that gave
us some anxious moments
when it started
leaking ...
We stayed in a
Forest Rest House
a fairly good one ...
Two White-browed Wagtails
visited the place
in the morning to feed on
the dead insects that had
come to the lights during
night ...
... and one of them had
one leg missing while
the other had only
a stump for
a foot ... yet
they were doing rather
well ...
We could capture
their images
activity and call
in a brief
video clip ... uploaded
today ...
