India Trip Report - October 2017

I had a really wonderful custom trip around Northern India in October 2017. The route was based on the Birding Ecotours scheduled January tour that I'd done in 2016, but was carried out in October as that was when the clients were able to go.

We visited the usual sites in the north such as Sultanpur, Ranthambhore, Bharatpur, Chambal, Sattal, Pangot, and Corbett NP with some stops in between as we traveled around. Loads of great birds and some mega views of male and female Bengal Tiger and several Jungle Cats... lots of other great wildlife too.

Please take a look at the trip report below for details and photos:

TIGER!!!

After the tiger mentioned in the previous post we had incredible views of a female Tiger the following morning. Here are a couple of photos...

We first had her walking about along a lake edge, before she walked out and across a plain - fantastic views. Something I'll not forget!

The (Rare) Owl and the Pussy Cat (TIGER)

Just taking a quick opportunity to write a blog post while I have some internet. The first two days of the Birding Ecotours Northern India Tour that I'm leading have got off to a great start with the finding of a bit or a rarity in the form of a Pallid Scops-Owl in Delhi yesterday, and today with a sun-bathing Bengal Tiger! No pressure for Day 3 then....

All photos from my IPhone and reduced to upload due to internet speed.
