Usha Lachungpa - High Altitude Agro Animal Research Laboratory Dihar Leh Jammu and Kashmir

After the Conservation and Management of Himalayan Wetlands meeting at Leh,in June 2011, I went with my daughter Minla to see the DRDO's Lab and Animal breeding facility called High Altitude Agro-Animal Research Laboratory at Dihar on 22 June with the resident veterinary doctor. Saw one male House Sparrow pecking away in what looked like barren area and took a picture. Really surprising to see House Sparrow so comfortably at home in this high altitude cold desert.
