Birch tree, Burza
A Birch tree (called Burz’e Kul) at Sonamarg.
A ‘murder’ atop Birch tree.
(Murder, that’s what a group of crows is called) These mountain crows are known as ‘De’v Kaw‘ or ‘god crow’. (more of them later)
Birch bark or Burza. In old days, when there was no paper, Birch was used for writing. A lot of ancient Kashmiri manuscripts are preserved on burza. [Restoration of these works]
