      Thanks for the welcome! I'm certainly far better at identifying birds than anything else, but I am currently trying to ID a few Bhutanese moths and reptiles. We'll see what I can manage. Posted 9 years ago

The Alpine chough

The Alpine chough is a bird in the crow family, one of only two species in the genus "Pyrrhocorax". Its two subspecies breed in high mountains from Spain eastwards through southern Europe and North Africa to Central Asia and Nepal, and it may nest at a higher altitude than any other bird.
