Paro, Bhutan

One of two main cities of Bhutan and the hub from which to visit its most iconic destination, Tiger's Nest.

Black-throated Bushtit Bushtit (manipurensis)

This Black-throated Bushtit was settling down to devour a juicy caterpillar. In this subspecies (manipurensis) there's a lot more rufous in the underparts.

White-browed Fulvetta

This fulvetta seemed to be collecting material for its nest and was so engrossed in that activity that it didn't mind all the shuffling I had to do to get a shot of this bird.
