INDIA 2018

After spending a fantastic two weeks birding in North India with Asian Adventures exploring some of the most beautiful landscapes and wildlife abundant rich national parks and reserves in India, I have finally got around to sorting out more images. Here's a selection of mixed images of some of the highlighted species from India. Over 424 species recorded in total during the two weeks. Personal highlights, Himalayan Rubythroat, Orange-flanked Bush Robin, Golden Bush Robin, Red-billed Blue Magpie, Brown Fish Owl, Indian Skimmers, Black Francolin, Collared Falconet.
Hope you enjoy the images and I will post more from my travels across North India

West Dorset Yellowhammers

Came across a flock of 16 Yellowhammers at an undisclosed site in West Dorset. A real treat to see so many Yellowhammers considering their rarity in Farmland in Dorset. I've have only seen a handful of Yellowhammers at other mid-Dorset sites including on my local patches at Charmouth and Sherborne in recent months.The Yellowhammers were part of a large flock of 40+ Chaffinch also holding single Brambling, 2 Corn Buntings and 10+ House Sparrows.
