    Birding Kashmir

    OK, thanks - if I go, I'll probably be trying the same approach, ie tagging on to a trip to GHNP, so good to know the WT Bush-tit is straightforward there. Another (better) site needed for the Kashmir Nuthatch in the south perhaps. Thanks, alan

    Great news that you got the Bullfinch - presume they are breeding in May - the recent records from Ebird certainly go through June-July. In relation to the other stuff, how easy was Kashmir Nuthatch there? Presumably no rare Bush-tits or Bush-warblers? cheers, alan

    Jens - I think June (or even late May) would be best for Kashmir but perhaps Ladakh is good through July? I think the way to do things might be to start in Himachal Pradesh for the Western Trag, then move up to Kashmir, onto Ladakh and then down for the monsoon breeders in the plains - if you've...

    Cheers, I will drop James a line - although he saw the OB in winter and I don't think they'll be in the same spot. No time for Himachal Pradesh on this trip - Western trag will have to wait, but thanks for the link. cheers, alan

    Birding Kashmir

    I wonder if anyone reading these posts has been here recently, particularly on a summer visit. I'd be interested in any information you have, either on this thread or as a PM. The key targets are Kashmir and White-cheeked Nuthatch, Tytler's Leaf-warbler, Orange Bullfinch whilst also on the...
