Pangong Tso (Tibetan: སྤང་གོང་མཚོ), Tibetan for "high grassland lake", also referred to as Pangong Lake, is an endorheic lake in Trans-Himalayas - situated at a height of about 4,350m (14,270 ft). It is 134 km (83 mi) long and extends from India to Tibet. Approximately 60% of the length of the lake lies in Tibet.

Brown-headed gull (Larus brunnicephalus) - is a small gull which breeds in the high plateaus of central Asia from Tajikistan to Ordos in Inner Mongolia. It is migratory, wintering on the coasts and large inland lakes of the Indian Subcontinent. As is the case with many gulls, was traditionally placed in the genus Larus.

This gull breeds in colonies in large reedbeds or marshes, or on islands in lakes, nesting on the ground. Like most gulls, it is highly gregarious in winter, both when feeding or in evening roosts. It is not a pelagic species, and is rarely seen at sea far from coasts.

This is a bold and opportunist feeder, which will scavenge in towns or take invertebrates in ploughed fields with equal relish (wikipedia) 

Happy birding 💧
