Himalayas - 141 (Machlolophus xanthogenys)

Another species of
Tit ...
The Black-lored ...

We did better in getting
an image ... this time
around ... granted
two shots ...
though ... it still
required some PS work
to take care of a leaf
( ... on the right of
the bird ...)
marring, otherwise, a
well-detailed image ...

A good tool ...
but consumes
a huge lot of time ...

It was still tough
doing a video on them ...
and we simply got a few
glimpses ... uploaded on
BF-tv ...

( P.S. : there was a sudden death
in the family of
my close relative, yesterday
... so, my presence here
may remain irregular
over next few days ... )

What a beautiful wee bird! I wonder if those colors serve as warning colors in small birds as they do for insects (e.g. bees - yellow and black stripes warns most predators that "I sting!")
