Alpine
Accentor at the Bumdrak campsite, Bhutan,
November 2017
Alpine Accentor
seem to be a fairly common bird in the mountains of Bhutan. The birds
we saw best were around the
campsite at Bumdrak. They were very approachable and fed on sheer rock
faces around a temple there. We also saw them other places - such as
the popular tourist attraction Tiger's Nest
This
is the field guide I took with me to Bhutan and India. Although I had
heard that this guide may not be the best for Bhutan I had no
complaints as it covered everything we saw.

This
bird came too close to fit in frame...
A habitat shot - showing the blue tents of the campsite around which
the Alpine Accentors on this page showed up. Himalayan Monal
were also seen very well in the same area.
We walked up to the prayer flags at the summit pre-breakfast the
following morning.
