My first sighting of one of these was during our trip to Nepal in 1987. We had film cameras back then, but John or I caught one in a photo of Himalayan mountain scenery. (see photo)
It would be 37 more years before I saw another. This time in Bhutan, where the birds are plentiful. See: Bhutan: Land of the Thunder Dragon trip log.
And there were more on my 2025 trip to Japan. See: Japan: through the Torii Gates
