Mussoorie - II

Some of the birds spotted @ Mussoorie that were first timers for me...


















This is the Green-Backed Tit. Almost like the common Sparrow but has this beautiful yellowish-greenish colour.
Title "The alarm clock outside my window" ;)






This is the Streaked Laughingthrush. Plenty of these around and you can spot them throughout the day...
Title "Too much rouge???"



This dude was hanging upside down and still pecking away effortlessly. It was a full 2 minutes where it just went about its business without any care and then finally flew away. Can't title this one...




Grey-Hooded Warbler, very beautiful bird, did not get any good shots...





Russet Sparrow, the back of this bird was a brilliant chestnut colour that was really bright in direct sun light. The bright colour, you can see only a little bit of it in the picture, was a first for me...
