Grey-headed Woodpecker

While this wasn't a lifer for me, it was the first time I had taken a photograph (the terrible quality notwithstanding).

Great Slaty Woodpecker

We encountered several of these noisy individuals throughout the two days we were at the park, but this poor record shot, revealing two ghostly silhouettes, is all I managed.

Scaly-bellied Woodpecker

Once again, I had prematurely concluded that I was watching another grey-headed woodpecker, when this bird turned a little and revealed the patterned belly.

Common Green Magpie

We had stopped to view some elephants on the way out of the park, and this Common Green Magpie was sitting camouflaged in the foliage fairly close to us. Only when it dropped it's guard and preened the feathers on its bright red wings was I able to spot it.

Collared Falconet

This trip featured a lot of raptors and some very special ones for me. We spent a few hours perched on a machan in the forenoon inside the core zone of the park, and this enterprising Collared Falconet landed on a nearby branch and gave us a fantastic view. This being a lifer for me made it all the more sweet.

Vultures belonging to three separate species - Himalayan, Red-headed & Egyptian - converge on a spotted deer carcass, presumably killed by a tiger the previous night, in Corbett National Park.

Red-headed Vulture

The highlight of this trip was spotting four different species of vulture devouring a carcass of a spotted deer. Three of those were lifers for me.

Himalayan Flameback Woodpecker

On the field I had concluded that this was a greater flameback but a closer look at the field guide helped me spot the "indistinct divided moustachial stripe" that identifies this species.
