I was watching, sketching and photographing a group of ibex near this instantly recognizable rock formation at the west end of the valley where the research camp is located at Ikh Nartiin Chuluu Nature Reserve. Suddenly a raven landed on top of the rock and stayed for quite bit, occasionally announcing his presence. There were also endangered less kestrels swooping around and some red choughs, so it was quite a busy morning.
