Bar Heads are not a native species. I think they originate in Asia. They are renowned for flying at great altitude and have been recorded flying over the Himalayas.

Lovely photo John, and the first I have heard of it. Nice looking bird.

Thank you. Yes I assumed this may have escaped somebody’s collection maybe?
