The Golden Beauty
How would you feel when u get an extremely shy and elusive bird on a clear perch unexpectedly??
It was really a great experience to capture few frames of this little gem of Neora Valley of the eastern Himalayas. At first the bird refused to come out of the dense bushes, And when i gave up all expectations, then my luck favoured...and it obliged me with a few shots. It was like a dream come true to me.

White-throated Redstart.
1st December, 2013.
Lungthung, East Sikkim (~12,500 feet)
On a cold December morning which initially had very low bird activity we birded along scrubby high altitude slopes between Lungthung and Gnathang, East Sikkim. As the day progressed and the fog lifted we found ourselves in areas which promised better birding. These hills were mostly covered in sub-alpine grass and scrub and some dwarf rhododendron and silver fir. There were Hen Harriers, Himalayan Buzzards and a Steppe Eagle overhead and Foxes and Yellow-throated Martens on ground. But by far the most numerous were these dazzling little birds busily foraging on the slopes, keeping us busy and entertained.
