Most of bird photography is in the timing. On the way back from Dzongri camp in Khangchendzonga national park, this male flitted around in the understory of the Rhododendrons. I hesitated to take my camera out since it was drizzling a little. Just as the rain stopped and I got my camera in my hand this bird came out and sat on a dry branch long enough for me to take 2-3 shots.
