India Birds - 1 - North-West (Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand)
These pictures were taken during a birding trip to northern India. Our guide was Jack Poll. Bird photography wasn't easy, because we concentrated on seeing as many species as possible. So this is an eclectic collection of a few of the easiest birds. The photographs are copyrighted and should not be reproduced without permission.This web site is up to date only for our first India trip. Later India trips are covered in travelogs that have links at the bottom of this page. Later trips are to Assam and Arunachal Pradesh, always with a stop in NW or central India to see tiger.
