Brown Fish Owl




So full of character ! He just opened one eye to look at us, saw we were no threat so just went back to sleep !

Taj Mahal






It was as beautiful as expected, infact more so. Such a spiritual building. A magical moment that was very emotional x

The Himalayas





WOW ! Simply stunning. Could have sat and looked at this view all day. Photographs do not capture the beauty of this view. We were so glad we were there on clear days. 100% fresh air !!

Black Shouldered Kite





Rufous Sibia





Delhi


We stayed for 2 nights in Delhi at 'The Estate'. The guest house was lovely. Simon is seen here inspecting the gardens. When we stepped out the back door we were in the street in the first photo. Total contrasts !

Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary



So sad to read the amount of birds that have been shot over the years.
The last leopard was 'shot with a gun' in 1965 - absolutely sickening.
This park is now called Keoladeo National Park and is a World Heritage Site.
