Wonderful spotting! Welcome to the community Marc!
Welcome to PN! I am looking forward to your spottings from a location about which I know nothing!!
Wonderful photo Marc! Welcome to Project Noah.
Beautiful picture, Welcome to Project Noah!!
There must be some fabulous wildlife on that plateau. More than looking forward to your works. Thanks for sharing this one.
Thanks for the welcome! It seems this will be a wonderful way to share some of the information/photographs/sightings I have made over time ... and even more importantly, to start working more together as a community to document such sightings. I am a conservation biologist working in the Tibetan plateau region in western China; and have also just created a new mission focused on Qinghai province, China. Again, thanks for the welcome!
Super spotting Marc. Beautiful looking animals. Welcome to Project Noah.
