On a recent road trip to Spiti Valley, had the opportunity to spot a few more Himalayan birds, different from the ones I had spotted a few months ago in Rumbak valley in Ladakh. (See the birds here: Birds of Rumbak )

There were beautiful birds like rock buntings, european goldfinches, common rose finches, red fronted serins, long tailed shrikes etc.

Which one is your favorite?

  3. Hi Sunita GR, really liked your blog and photographs. I am new to birding, so can you help me with some tips? I am using a 200-500 Nikkor lens with a D7100 Nikon body. But my autofocus rarely looks sharp when enlarged. The eyes look dull. I do use 1500 shutter speed and even a monopod to rest, when I can.
