Special Mention | Animal Portraits & Behaviour

Gopeshwar, Uttarakhand

The Guide

The photographer trekked 9 km to capture this image of a Yellow-rumped Honeyguide feasting on the larvae and wax of a large bee colony in the village of Mandal near Gopeshwar, Uttarakhand. These unique birds earn their name from how humans use them to track and find massive bee colonies to procure honey.
