Syrrhapte of Tibet
The Syrrhapte of Tibet ( Syrrhaptes tibetanus ) is large a Oiseau of the family of the ganga S. This species niche in central Asia, on the arid stony plate of the Tibet and its surroundings. Its nest is a depression scraped on the surface of the ground, in which three eggs brown clearly camouflaged by spots are laid.
Syrrhapte of Tibet has a length from 30 to 41 cm. Its upper parts have a fawn-coloured coloring; it has an orange face, a finely barred gray throat, a white belly and the lower part of the wings is black. These the last two criteria make it possible to distinguish it from his/her cousin, the paradoxical Syrrhapte, with which it shares part of his surface of distribution. Both have the emplumés legs and feet.
The upper parts of the female are barred and more terns that those of the male, and its tail is shorter.
This gregarious bird has a small head, resembling that of a Pigeon, but a robust and compact body. Its wings and its tail are long and pointed, and it has a fast and direct flight. Usually, the groups fly away towards the points of water at dawn, but also in the twilight.
