Himalayas - 156
Luckily ...
there is net
connectivity ... and some
time to spare at the
wedding venue in
Lucknow ... allowing me
to connect ...

Himalayas ...

... From bill
to the tail-tip

All of 68 cm in this
compact pose
... seen here in the
uncropped image ... with a lot
to spare ... and some
fine close-detail
... that
... generally, I find
difficult
to fit into a frame

Watch a gang 5 of these
magnificent
corvids feeding on
the forest-edge
in a video-clip
done at the same time ...
