Lovely creation...Thank you for sharing the beauty of nature with us❤️
Just got back from Latpanchar. Was glad to have Suraj guide us through our trip.
Suraj is such a delight to go with for Bird watching. His ability to see birds, making noises of variant birds is just awesome... 😊
👍
Nice. Amazing.
One of the finest videos I have seen. Thanks very much for the clear photograph of Rufous necked hornbill.
Absolutely true, reformed hunters, make the best conservationists.👍🏼

9:25 it is not a bell from an hilltop temple but it is the alarm for attendees of Cinchona plantation (which is latpanchar is also famous for)
Crisp and clear as the mountain aura your pictures and cinematography and thanks for introducing Suraj bhai..and you are bang on target regarding a reformed hunter turning into the best guide and conservationists,it's sad to hear about the declining population of the vultures, surely there must be some ways in banning that medicine used in cattles.🙏

A very nice vlog...just a couple of things- I may be wrong but I think in case of Great hornbills males have red coloured eyes whereas the females have white ones...Second thing is did you get Kanchenchunga view near Sittong/Chatakpur?
@soumyajitmistry

Yes you can identify male/ female hornbills by their eyes.. I didn't went to sittong or chatakpur .
Orage bellied leafbirds..
Nice video composition.....however, more bird species are expected at there, you presented only few of them.

Sir ..I saw a blue and purple colour bird with yellow beak in Baikathapur forest nepali basti. Siliguri. I have never seen this birds in any record.can you tell me about the bird
@soumyajitmistry
2 жыл бұрын
Its very difficult to say exactly what bird it was just by knowing the colour. To appropriately describe a bird you must mention the size of the bird like sparrow size/ mynah size or pegion size or bigger and its habitat . Siliguri is a birding hotspot and you will see a lot of birds this time as the winter migration has started.try to photograph the bird with whatever camera/phone you have. Try searching for Violet cuckoo images on Google and check if that is your bird, because purple-blue- yellow beak combination is not quite common.

April-may is the nesting season for them. Thats when you will see them at latpanchar. If you visit early in jan- feb you can spot them at Mahananda wls which is at a lower altitude but not far from there. Let the guide know your target species and they will make the best plan for you.

Scops Owlet.. great.. my snaps were.. GHCanary Flyctchr.. Longtailed and scarlet minivet... rufous sibia.. Geen magpie.. burn swallow.. wagtails.. accentor.. rufous nped babbler...shirikes.. tits.. thrushes.. Crstd Srpnt Eagle... Eurasian sparrows.etc.. I must say you that Sillerygaon/Ichhegaon, Rishikhola(kalimpong), Barsey/Hilley, Okhray at west sikkim and Paren forest (dooars) are even more promising birding destinations.
