Ladakh is a heavenly collage in itself of mountains, rivers, meadows, and wildlife of course! My recent trip in July of 2024 gave me some great opportunities to collect various “collages” like the following “navratnas”!
01. The 3 Tibetan birds (Tibetan Sandgrouse, Tibetan Partridge, Tibetan Snowcock) within a span of 3 days
02. The Pallas Cats in pairs at various times and poses
03. The Great Rosefinch and the Red-fronted Rosefinch - the brands of Ladakh
04. The 2 Owls of the state, Eurasian Eagle Owl and the Small Owl, winking to me as I return to their land
05. 6 birds of Ladakh in 1 day of “on the rocks”, those beautiful rocks with a splattering of red on them
06. The memorable feeding sequence of the White-throated Feeder and its chick
07. The younger Tibetan and Himalayan Snowcocks - kings and queens of tomorrow
08. The White-browed tit-warbler, the precious gem of Ladakh, in various poses in same frame
