Alpine Chough

The Alpine Chough is also known as the yellow-billed chough and is one of just two species that make up the genus Pyrrhocorax. It has two subspecies that cover a vast range that starts from the Pyrenees mountains in Spain to mountainous areas in Central Asia and Nepal.

These nesting places can be found at extremely high altitudes in caves or mountains of cliffs.
