I feel a "Birdfest' is about to be cut loose!

Me too.

A great start. Only 17 in Ladakh worries me though.

Yes, Ladakh was disappointing for birds, but I went there to see snow leopards.

There has been very little snow this year so it was very barren. No fruiting trees yet so not much for birds to eat. I was told there are a lot more species to be seen in summer.

Never mind the birds, did you find Snow Leopards??

[TonyQ]

Lots of great additions from India, starting with a stunning flycatcher.

Great birdies, love the Pied Hornbill. And of course looking forward to hearing more about your Snow Leopards, saw some of your teasers on FB - fantastic!
