Grey Treepie

Description:

Also known as Himalayan Treepie, this corvid is some 40 cm long, including its long tail. Mainly grey body (some subspecies can have it reddish brown), with black wings and a black mask.

Habitat:

Grey treepies are widely distributed along the foothills of the Himalayas. They are omnivorous, arboreal birds thriving best among dense foliage and in forests; but are found in a wide range of habitats, often bordering cultivated lands and human habitations. Here, observed in rural area around Okhaldunga town, in a forested area bordering the agricultural fields and close to village.

Notes:

I was in a really difficult position with these treepies - birds were really nervous and kept moving in dense foliage; they were against the sunlight... in the end I was convinced all clicks were useless. In the end, with a little magic, I managed to salvage some of them.
