So, our epic Indian quest is over, with a high degree of success, tempered by one or two epic failures. I've finally managed to see a tiger - four of them in fact - but missed out on snow leopard and Pallas's cats.
Still, hundreds of new birds have been added to the list and I've discovered that I can indeed survive at 14,000ft, even if it's a bloody struggle.
The link to the trip report - with some photos - is on the right and the usual published book version will be coming along very soon.
