Dear Kiran, I have not yet seen Yellow Gorgon during my several visits from Uttarakhand to Arunachal Pradesh, but yes I did see Brown Gorgon only once while in Sikkim. I am sure there should be few good areas for Gorgons in the Himalayan region. As such there have been very few sightings of these two Gorgon species. Photographs too have been just a few handful. Even in BNHS collections there are few specimen. Cheers! Isaac

Isaac, would you clarify whether the yellow Gorgon is very difficult to approach or is it a rarity in the Indian subcontinent?

To: ButterflyIndia@ yahoogroups. com Dear Judhajit, Great catch indeed! Looks like you are second Indian to photograph this elusive Yellow Gorgon. Earlier, Mr. S A Hussain of BNHS had got it in Bhutan 25 years ago! Both your images are valuable records. Cheers!
