India/Nepal bird pics

Nothing unusual - and I didn't get a photo of everything I saw:

Minah birds and black kites at The Raj Ghat

Rose-ringed parakeets at a station.

Umm - ducks? Geese?

Black drongo - hotel garden in Agra

Egret - Intermediate, I think - Chitwan

Indian pond heron - Chitwan

Asian openbill - Chitwan

Possible peregrine against the dawn - Chitwan

Kestrel - Chitwan

Lesser Adjutant - Chitwan

Black ibis - Chitwan

Heron, right at the limit of my zoom - Chitwan

Lots of birds seen but not photographed: check back for a list if you're interested.

Kathmandu - Wednesday 9th November

Final day - early start  tomorrow to get 2 flights home to cold, miserable England.

Flew from Pokhara this morning after a 4:30 start to go up a mountain to see the sunrise.

OK - I didn't actually go up the mountain, but I did see the sunrise over Annapurna.

The 'pointy' mountain is called 'Fish Tail' in English, has never been climbed and never will be as it is a holy mountain.

Everest

Just pictures.
I did see a Yeti.

Perfect weather.

Rodney prepares for his flight to Everest

Mount Everest

Jack - sort of - with Everest in the background

Rodney and the Himalayas

If it's Thursday - I must be flying

Too many flights :-(

Kajaharo - Varanasi (used to be called Benares) - Tuesday
Varanasi - Delhi (Yesterday)
Delhi - Kathmandu (Today)
Tomorrow (Friday) - flight over Everest -YAY!!!
Saturday - Kathmandu - Chitwan

There's another one - Pokhara - Kathmandu
And finally Kathmandu - Delhi - Heathrow.

I doubt I'll be flying anywhere again any time soon.
