    Pallas Fish Eagle or Black Kite?

    Thanks everyone. Would you believe that the papers recently reported that a 'snow" leopard attacked people just because it happened in winter. http://alljknews.blogspot.com/2012/01/snow-leopard-in-banihal.html Same with the Kite. Because its flying over a lake so it has to be a 'fishing'...

    Website image protection

    I have been following this thread with some interest. Basically whatever can be viewed on the monitor screen can be easily 'borrowed' with a simple PrintScreen command. There are programs that can scroll and capture entire browser pages with all pictures at one go. One enterprising fellow had...

    Smew ID confirmation please

    Thanks SB, Kashmir is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places in the world. Unfortunately it isnt as peaceful as it could have been. Some more pictures here: http://www.kashmirnetwork.com/gallery/ It is actually a female Red-crested Pochard rather than a female Smew. I guess I skipped the...
