Off to Himalayas
... for a week

After a gap of
almost two years ...

quiet time on
Renu's birthday
this week ...

Monsoon is still
active in some
parts ... so birding
opportunities may
not be great ...

Still ... taking a
chance and hoping
for the best

Nice one Alok.... I've actually seen one, but a long time ago!! A super bird to leave us with while you take a well-earned break.

Wish Renu a very happy birthday from me please my friend.
