About this book

Language: English

Does the Kathmandu valley have a beach and gulls? Why did Taudaha’s cormorants increase at the same time as Pharping’s Buddhist monasteries? How do bird species trends reflect the local environmental changes? Why does the Black Redstart refuse to stay longer than a few days at a time in the Kathmandu Valley?

Through 13 years of observations around the fields, gorges, rivers and wooded streams of the Bagmati and Taudaha area in Nepal, the author provides the answer to these and other questions. Here he reports the amazing number of bird species, some new to Kathmandu Valley, plus their stories, seasonal patterns, and 13-year trends.
