SUMMARY:
Notes describe a settlement at Shingp Coyidi with cattle, crops (barley and peas), and juniper scrub used as fuel, along with observations of juvenile Crag Martins, Rosefinches, and plentiful Tibetan partridges with broods. The author collected numerous butterflies, including a Colias miranda specimen, Colias dubia, and various Parnassius (notably epaphus and delphius), and observed a large herd of Bharal near the Thakan La plateau.
