Thousands of Brandt’s mountain finches taking off from their foraging ground , a frozen riverbed at 17,800 ft attitude in -9℃ or so.
While returning from Tso lhamo, I saw an entire part of the sky was covered with thousands of mountain finches. I was totally awestruck couldn’t believe my eyes for some seconds, with the freezing wind, it was so cold outside that getting out of the car was turning out to be a very tough decision but adrenaline kicked in and I got out of the car to capture one of the moments of my lifetime.
