Summary

[edit]
Description

A unique bird that is recorded flying near the height of Mount Everest on its way to and from Migration. The height nearly at which a Jumbo-jet flies at 29,000 feet. Why the bird flies in such a complex migratory route is a challenge for scientists to understand.

We found a large flock of 30-40 birds on one the lakes near the main road, and as soon as they saw us, they took flight. They are decent sized goose, weighing around kg and a half, and are targeted by raptors like Harriers, eagles like Bonelli's, Greater Spotted and even Falcon's for food. This year due to abnormal rain patterns, we saw few birds, maybe in 100's much of the season instead of the 1000's we could see every year.

Many thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
