India: White-rumped Shama

This card was sent from a Postcrosser in India :)
It's also my first card from this beautiful country in Asia.

The white-rumped shama is a small passerine bird. Native to densely vegetated habitats in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, its popularity as a cage-bird and songster has led to it being introduced elsewhere. This bird species is shy and somewhat crepuscular yet territorial.

The Himalayas is a mountain range which separates the Great Indian Plains from the Tibetan Plateau. This range is home to 9 of the 10 highest peaks on Earth, including Mount Everest. Nearly 1000 birds have been recorded in the Himalayas, which 15 species are fully endemic.

Hope you find this card informative :)
