Black-faced Laughingthrush (Garrulax affinis), Mingyong Glacier, Meili Xu shan, Yunnan Province, China 23rd April 2011


The bird was attracted by offertory barley, which had been put out at a Buddhist shrine a few yards away. In the cold environment that was an easy source of food, and it obviously felt safe there
