Birding is not always fun. Sometimes ,when seeing endangered birds, with global population of a few thousands, my heart breaks- White naped Tit. IUCN Red list. Vulnerable. #TribeIndiAves #IOTD #IndiAves #NaturePhotography #birdwatching #birdphotography #wildlifephotography

@JackPosobiec They are trying the same BS here in India which they tried in USA. Suspending and censoring conservative opinions. If India doesn't react soon , they'll have the gall to suspend the account of our PM too , come the 2024 elections , just like they did Trump's.
