Lovely image of this bird of the Himalayan forests.Wonderful composition.The black lores and down curved eyelines of the Male are beauty to be absorbed not touched.Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild.

P.S.:Black-lored Tit, the other name, could have been common usage,but you have relied upon the text book identity.Corbett's Jungle Lore is coming into my mind.

Lovely. Cute bird. Good to see a species which we don't find every day. Tough to get a clean background when the bird is perched in a tree with lot of dry branches. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Thanks, this was part of a mixed hunting party...have uploaded another species sighted in that wave...will upload all I saw on that day, was indeed magical for me as I saw the behavior for the first time and got a good collection of new species I sighted for the 1st time too!
