India is a whirlwind of impressions - many amazing sights, mostly annoying sounds. The crowds and traffic are a wonderment, the car horns are constant (trucks actually have "please honk" written across the back), and the smog hides the sky.
I'm taking so many photos I'm going to get weeks behind again, though Internet and cell coverage are mostly excellent.
Bird-wise, first thing I noticed was large numbers of kites overhead. I assume these are Black Kites, Milvus Milgrans (not sure I can tell the subspecies - lineatus and govinda would both be in range for Delhi, right?).
Here's a close-up:
Black Kite
The next bird you'll notice (but this would be after the monkeys on the rooftops, and the cattle wandering the streets) are the rose-ringed parakeets (seen here in the village of Holipuri).
