Himalayas - 265 (Garrulus lanceolatus)

Himalayas - 265 ...

Ethnic ...

The pattern of
markings and
design ... on the
wings and tail of
this Himalayan species
of Jay ...

ethnic / tribal

is sitting on
... is definitely
ethnic ...

The Bengal Terracotta

Kept at the forest-edge
on the boundary
wall of the resort
we stopped briefly
en route ...

Watch the Jay and his
plumage up close ... on
the bowl in a video-clip ...
