Citrine Wagtail {Motacilla citreola (Calcarata - subspecies)}

At - Sapi La or Sapi Valley - Ladakh - Jammu and Kashmir - Trans-Himalayas - India - 4370m (14337 ft) Altitude.  

I was looking for some rare species @ this altitude .. And finally spotted him .. initially he was very shy and keep away from me .. So I was behind him almost for a km up-hill .. imagine running up Hill at this Altitude 4400m (14500 ft) .. I was breathing high .. But finely he gave me time .. And I really enjoyed the moments .. Thanks to him for allowing me to capture and enjoy his presence with me .. Happy Birding 🍀

Also Know as - Yellow-headed Wagtail, Yellow-hooded Wagtail.
