Nepal is famous for its wildlife. With the help of a local expert, Rajendra Suwal, I was able to experience a very exciting birding tour in Kathmandu. Photographing tree birds is always difficult, but the new 500mm F4 VR was very handheldable and produced satisfactory photos. The high ISO performance of the D300 is also a bit better than the D200, which was very useful since the birds were always in the shades.
