Glass Half-full ... 7 (Pantoporia hordonia)

Glass Half-full ... 7

After ensuring that the
driving would not cause
any further damage to the
shoulder secured in an
improvised arm-chest
bandage ... we proceeded
towards the campsite ...
... about 125 Km still
deeper into the Shivalik
Himmalayas ...

To continue ...

... but before starting
the drive
we briefly re-visited the forest
and the site
of the fall, while pursuing
a lifer bird
Chestnut-headed Tesia ...
( ... no image to show, albeit )

... and there we found
this amazingly beautiful
BF ... with most
vibrant and saturated
colors of the wonderful
prevailing season ... and
Batman-silhouette pattern ...

Watch this beauty in
a small video-clip ...
