Brahminy duck nesting observations near the Dzong and prior Gyantse account
Brahminy duck nesting observations near the Dzong and prior Gyantse account
LSH/1/1/3/3/90 · Part · 1933-04-09
Part of The Ludlow & Sherriff Collection

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.

Brian S. Brookes - Schoenus Ferrugineus Research
GB 235 BRO · File · 1940 - 1980

Three boxes of Schoenus Ferrugineus research by Brian S. Brookes
Box 1 contains 2 photos of Jigme Dorji Wangchuck, future King of Bhutan inspecting Schoenus ferrugineus with George Sherriff.
Collection seems to focus around a plantation of Schoenus ferrugineus that was growing on the banks of Loch Tummel that was lost by a hydro scheme in the 1940s/1950s? and Brookes's attempts to replant a new population at Loch Tummel in the 1970s.
