The description of the Bar-winged Flycatcher-shrike on the same site is not much less exuberant: “While the Bar-winged Flycatcher-shrike may not rank as Nepal’s most renowned bird, its striking looks, fascinating habits, and contribution to the vibrant bird community definitely make it worth noticing.”

In my experience, people eat more food they are familiar with than food that is unfamiliar. In my (fortunately rather limited) experience, Chinese karaoke singers adapt their singing based on the chosen song, the audience, and the amount of alcohol in their blood. They also eat more when together with other people.

I was lucky to visit India several times, but as a keen birder I carried along only a bird book, and even upgraded it to a new edition between the trips. Beside India, Lynx Illustrated Checklist of the Mammals of South Asia covers Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. I clearly needed a mammal book.
