Never reflected on these many varieties of valley birds when I lived there! Aw. The chipmunk was a surprise too! If you use Iphone to take pictures, the “i” info sign updates the names of birds and flowers. At least that’s how I tame my anthophilia…
I think I wasn't quite clear enough, but I took these pictures not in Nepal but in Delhi. These birds are found in Nepal, though -- the brahminy starling is a Terai bird and according to Birds of Nepal, red-wattled lapwings can be spotted in Kathmandu -- though I haven't seen them here yet myself. And chipmunks seem more common in Kathmandu these days, too. Thanks for reading and commenting!
