Aquilae


20th February

Sailing all day, from our mooring near Orang National Park to Guwahati, the capital of Assam. My only new birds for the year were two big eagles: an adult golden, perched incongruously on a banana palm lost on a sandbank, and a couple of steppe eagles over the rocky hills near the city.


New today
