Leader of the flock will always call other members to prepare for a flight or a landing. And I found the calling stunning!

Hi Paux,
nice to see them in China, in winter time. In Bhutan, it seems that the wintering population is unfortunately decreasing. How is it in China?

Paux

Ronaldo, according to the volunteer workers of 2 major roosting sites in the reserve, there are over 500 nos. of BNC roosting in each site recently.
