Picto Diary - 27 December 2015 - Kaziranga (3) Birds

Above: Oriental Pied Hornbill. Kaziranga National Park. Assam. Northeastern India. 27 December 2015.

Without naturalist Bumani attending I wouldn't have spotted most of these birds, let alone be able to name them. He earned a decent gratuity.

Notwithstanding the interesting bird sightings, we hardly scratched the surface. There are 500 varieties of birds in Kaziranga.

Yes. The green plants are a water covering. The basket goes into the water through the green plants.
