It should be a very enjoyable and productive (in terms of photography) trip. It makes me want to revisit Nepal again.....   Daniel « Last Edit: Jan 13th, 2004, 12:07am by Daniel CK Chan » Logged Daniel CK Chan http://www.danielckchan.com felixcat BBS Member BBS God watch birds and be watched ...     Gender: Posts: 248 Re: Birds in Nepal (III) « Reply #4 on: Jan 13th, 2004, 1:08am » Quote Modify Daniel,   Thanks for your visiting my album and it is still under contruction as I have only scanned and posted half of my slides taken.  Yes, there are a lot topics for photographers and I think I will go there one more esp the national parks there.  Besides, the Nepal people are very nice and warm that attracts very tourists being there.  I think Forrest will feel what we have felt there soon.  Enjoy   Felix Logged Pages: 1  Reply Send Topic Print Forum Jump: ----------------------------- Announcement 簡訊通告 -----------------------------  - Membership Affair 會員事務   - Outings / Activities 戶外活動 / 講座   - Projects 項目計劃   - Crested Bulbul Club 紅耳鵯俱樂部 ----------------------------- Discussion Area 討論區 -----------------------------  - General 一般問題   - Conservation 自然保育   - Bird Identification 鳥類辨識   - Birding Reports & Tips 觀鳥報告及心得   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 I => Photo Gallery 相片分享 II ----------------------------- Special Topics 特別主題 -----------------------------  - Wild Birds & Avian Flu 野鳥與禽流感   - Sustainable Management Scheme in Long Valley 塱原可持續生態管理計劃   - Black-faced Spoonbill 黑臉琵鷺   - Goodbye Penfold 告別彭福   - Tern Conservation 燕鷗保育   - Black-eared Kite 鳶(麻鷹)   - Swifts and Swallows 燕與雨燕   - China Birdwatching Network 中國觀鳥活動網絡   - Winter Altas Survey 冬季鳥類普查   - Nature Conservation Policy 自然保育政策 ----------------------------- Knowledge Sharing 知識分享 -----------------------------  - FAQ 常見問題   - Archive 資料重溫 « Previous topic | Next topic »
