Black-faced Laughingthrush

[Sandipan Ghosh]

Black-faced Laughingthrush is only found in the Eastern Himalayas. But the detail information of this bird is very scanty. It is very shy bird, but I am quite lucky enough to get a shot.

Lovely sighting. Liked the low angle. The colours have come out well. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice. Surprised that you found it to be shy though, I guess they behave differently in different regions and habitats. I saw plenty of these in the upper areas of North Sikkim, and they were by far the easiest birds to photograph there. These comparative observations are always interesting to note.

Yes I have heard in sounds of flocks in the Chaudaferi Camp.

Thanks for the comment.....Yes I know that this bird can found in very close distance in Sikkim and Bhutan....

Your shutter speed was low. Why didn't you increase the ISO?

It was clicked in extremely low light condition. In that time I selected the auto mode of ISO..... I did not want any grain in the image due to high ISO...

However ISO could have been increased from the present ISO 250 unless you are cropping huge.
