All splendid...

Hi,

Nice pics of interesting species!

There seems to be two perhaps wrongly labelled pics, we think the Indian Cormorant is a Great Cormorant and your Crested Honey Buzzard is a Bonelli's Eagle. Agree?

wleepoin

Thanks John.
We must also thank you for your recommendation of the bird guide, he is excellent. Jijo ask us to say hello to you & Jemi!

Hi Annika & Antero,
It's good to hear from you.
Yes, we agreed both birds are wrongly labelled. It must have been the delicious curry or the magical indian tea to make us think other wise.  

Cheers
