Himalayas - 350 ...
The Forest edge ...
We had finished our
breakfast served at
the forest edge ...
... as
we did not wish to
miss any action in
the vicinity ...
Renu noticed a pair of
woodies flying into the
the canopy ... but
before we could even
pick up our cameras
this lady flew into
another tree ...
... high amidst branches
luckily I could
track her, though
... and
what a knock-out
she is ...
with her
distinct wedge-shaped
head ... that glorious
mane ... and the
figure of a
super model ...
She persisted barely
for 3-4 seconds ... twisting
and turning ... and
disappearing out of
sight ... not allowing
any video recording ...
