Bagmati Valley 2019

Indian white-eye (Zosterops palpebrosus)
During my sojourn at my root, as usual I wandered around the my surroundings with a wish to capture/observe birds species  especially those birds which were not captured in frame by me. Likewise the previous visit my experience was mixed. Among new species, sighting and snapping of the Common Iora, Coppersmith Barbet and Indian White eye birds were notable outcomes of the birds watching around the Bagmati valley in Sheohar.
