One of the joys of India is that wildlife still lives cheek-by-jowl with a huge human population.

Amlidhe, near Ranthambore.
Indian grass mantis (Schizocephala bicornis), never noticed these guys before but they were quite common at Ranthambore this year.
Great thick-knee
Naked-rumped tomb bat, ticking bats has given the cultural days of many tours a whole new focus. We found two species of tomb bat at Fatehpur Sikri this year.
I really unblocked ibisbill as a tour bogey bird this year. One in China was swiftly followed by five on this trip. An amazing total that included two we found inside Corbett.
Hog deer was a great find in Corbett this year, they can be hard to see.
A total of 24 elephants at Corbett this year, including some great close encounters.
Our full day at Corbett will always be remembered for the half hour we spent in the close company of this Pallas' fish eagle.
