Himalayas - 351
The Forest edge ...

... and here's the
male partner of the
pair that flew in ...

though the female did
a quick vanishing
act ... this guy stayed
on this branch for a
while ... allowing
us to do both still and
video clip ...

... the setting
albeit, wasn't ideal
... some branches
casting shadow on the
bird ...

Watch the colorful
fellow in a video-clip ...
