  1. 🕷️😊 Researchers in #Uttarakhand, #India, spotted a spider resembling #Hawaii’s happy-face #spider during ant #biodiversity work.

    #DNA confirmed it was a new species, *Theridion himalayana*, with distinct evolutionary origins. Both species evolved their patterns independently.

  19. Most of my Himalayan Bird Count birding was in a Cold Temperate Forest with Oaks, Horse Chestnut, Indian Laurel, Rhododendrons, .

    The central focus was around Mesar Kund , a forest pond.

    The correct local name is Mesar Kund, long story about the that I will share soon. But this name is being changed to suit dominant cultural trends.

  23. 9th May 26 was Endemic Bird day & also Himalayan Bird Count Day

    Normally our group would have gone crazy - with birding events in 3 or 4 locations. This year subdued - people on assignment & in different locations. So took the opportunity to slow walk through a village forest

  33. Reposting an old favourite photograph taken in a meadow above our village, on the first sunny day after a solid week of rain. This magnificent old Toona ciliata tree was hit by lightning some years ago.
