    Banda episode 7 has a beautiful compilation of birds and a very exclusive animal too. A well presented compilation with information on each of the birds and animal. Watch the video yourselves to judge the time, effort, digi scoping, narratives and compilation that Les and Verena have taken the trouble to bring it to you in the comfort of your homes. My personal suggestion is that you watch it on a large screen with good speakers. Well done and thank you Les and Verena for sharing your birding trips with us

    In this episode 5, shot at Banda on the outskirts of Maharashtra, Les & Verena bring you 4 beautiful birds caught on video through Leslie's camera lens. The Oriental Magpie Robin takes the cake with his beautiful and continous calls. And of course there is the mysterious raptor which our birding duo has invited people to share their views on as to which species it is as they have classified it as an Oriental Honey Buzzard for now. So folks feel free to comment on it's species. Well narrated and good footage, Les & Verena and a truly lovely compilation.
