An original miniature watercolour measuring 65mm x 90mm
Also known as the Impeyan Pheasan or Danphe in Nepalese - where it is the national bird. Its relatively common in Nepal and can be found in the high mountains. I've seen Himalayan Monal on a few of my trips. Its one of those birds that have a "wow" factor-in this case its the males' amazingly colourful iridescent plumage. Fortunately I was able to see them again and photograph them, at Chester zoo.
