February 26: Paul Holt from his ongoing tour, India: Ranthambhore, Bharatpur, Nainital and Corbett
It took us nine game drives, six at Ranthambhore and three in Corbett National Park, before we connected with our first Tiger, but wow..., did we connect. Four encounters with the same female and virtually fully grown cub followed by great looks at a massive male. Awesome! We'd invested at lot of ttime in the search but had seen some great other things along the way - Painted Spurfowl and Painted Sandgrouse, Indian Courser and Indian Skimmer as well as Brook's Leaf & Smoky Warblers to mention just a few. We're now searching out some of the avian delights that the hill station of Nainitalwas has to offer...
Kalij Pheasant, the required, stunning bird for any from-the-field
