SUMMARY:
Notes describe Brahminy ducks inspecting nesting sites in cliff holes and deserted houses near the Dzong, with local reports that parents push chicks from nests while one waits below to break the fall. This account matches a story told to Ludlow at Gyantse ten years earlier. The page also includes various measurements and times.
CONTENT:
Ludlow, April 15, p. 52
The Brahminy duck will be laying in another 3 weeks. They were busy in the early morning inspecting nesting sites in holes in the cliffs or in the deserted houses near the Dzong. The local people say that they push the young out of the nest and that one of the parent birds waits below to break the fall. This is the same story which was told to Ludlow at Gyantse 10 years ago, and it is apparently a true one.
