On the final day of our three-day birding tour in Shogran, I traveled from Lahore to photograph the rare orange bullfinch. Despite hiking 40 kilometers through Shogran and Siri Paye over the first two days, we could not spot any. On our last day, we woke up early at around 5 am, but our view was obscured by heavy clouds. Just as we were about to conclude our birding journey, a lone orange bullfinch suddenly appeared before me, giving me just a few precious seconds to snap some photographs.
