Birds of Darjeeling

CHESTNUT CROWNED LAUGHING THRUSH




I see quite a few birds around my house so i had it in mind why don't i write something about them as well.The most difficult part is to get a nice and clear picture of them.They are so elusive and fast ,just cant stick to one place at least for me till i can take some cute pictures of them.I have managed to click some pictures of them and i am going to try again and again till i can get good pictures to show around.
I had no clue about the names in English ,not that i know a great deal in Nepali he he he...:)




I got interested to know more about them once i followed a thread in India mike a travel forum and the thread starts with:- Which bird is this ? The experts gives us the name and their cry .So i somehow started getting interested to post some of mine pictures as well just to know there names.




Now i know few names of the birdies and would like to share with people who might be interested to know about them.
The first one is Chestnut-crowned laughing thrush i don't know why the name laughing thrush because i cant make out it laughing.I will not even write its scientific name because i cant identify with name.
here is the picture .



These birds are found in the altitudes ranging from 1000 to 3400 m.It is found in nepal,Bhutan,North east India (himalayas),Burma,china.Read they are extinct in pakistan.
