Spotted
The Snow Pigeon is a robust and hardy species adapted to cold, high-altitude environments in Central Asia. It is easily recognized by its prominent white markings.
Where to spot
High mountain ranges of Central Asia, including the Himalayas, Tibet, and western China, typically above the treeline in rocky areas, cliffs, and high pastures.
How to spot
Look for a large, grey pigeon with a distinctive white patch on its neck and upper back. Often seen foraging on the ground in open alpine meadows or perched on rocky ledges.
When to spot
Year-round, active during the day. They may move to slightly lower altitudes in winter when heavy snow covers their high-altitude food sources.

These pigeons frequently nest in colonies on inaccessible cliff faces, forming large, communal roosts where they can gain protection from predators.
