Ramnagar -
Kosi River
Today was our last day birding in the Himalayan foothills,
although more like our last morning, our minibus was arriving at 13.00 to take
us south to Delhi. I spent the morning birding down by the Kosi River. I and
few others were down there from first light for a last gasp chance at tiger,
but sadly it did not materialise. There were no new birds, but it was nice to
be able to get a last look at many of the species we had grown used to seeing
over the past few days. Our journey to Delhi during the afternoon was filled
with traffic problems, we did not arrived until 21.00.
Highlights
Pallas’s
Fish Eagle - We had seen this species every day from the hotel since we
came to Camp Big Cat, of all different ages. However, because we were down at
the river from so early we got an individual fly right over our heads, giving
fantastic views in the early morning gloom
