Bar-headed Goose + 4 Goslings - 4,522m (14,836 ft) Alt

            P1520045 - Bar-headed Goose - Size - 71 - 76 cm (28–30 in) 
# 371 - 03 Mar '24 - 18:42 (13:12 GMT)  

We saw around 50 - 60 Breading Pairs - with their Goslings - And each pair with ~ 1 to 5 Goslings. 
All were seen together as a  flock .. at the time of Rusting .. on the grassland at the banks of the River .. But in the morning on the move to the River .. Each pair showing their territories and agitation to others .. A Very Fascinating Drama 💙

These Goose are captured in the National Park ☘️
Being a Naturalist - We totally try not to disturb them .. And also try to Minimise our presence 🌸

Bar-headed Geese (Anser indicus)  - Breeding in Trans-Himalayas .. At an altitude of 4,522m (14,836 ft). 

At - Tso Moriri or Mountain Lake - is a lake in Ladakhi - Trans-Himalayas - in Kashmir, India. The lake and surrounding area are protected as the Tso Moriri Wetland Conservation Reserve.

WONDERFUL FACTS - The Bar-headed Geese - is one of the world's highest-flying birds, having been heard flying across Mount Makalu – the fifth highest mountain on earth at 8,481 m (27,825 ft) – and apparently seen over Mount Everest [Wikipedia] 

Bar-headed Geese can be found at high elevations .. 
They use habitats like mountain grasslands and crop fields from surrounding villages. Bar-headed geese tend to use freshwater marshes, lakes, and streams that are around elevations of 4,000 to 6,000 meters above sea level as stop-over and over-wintering sites. Some geese have even been reported to migrate at altitudes of 9,000 meters when they cross the Himalaya Mountains.
