According to Pallas, this "is common upon the Caucasus, and 
about the Caspian Sea. In summer it is found near the snow-line, 
descending in winter to the sub-alpine regions of Persia." 
Captain T. Hutton informs us, that he had " observed this bird 
this winter [1854-5] in Masuri, after an interval of many years. It 
appeared to be always in pairs, and, like our Siskin and Groldfincb, is 
very fond of alighting upon the tall coarse nettles which abound 
here. They are merely winter birds at Masuri, and seem to have 
left about the middle of Pebruary." 
In summer, we are informed by Lieut. Speke, of the 46th B.N.I., 
that " it is found in Spiti and Ladakh at an altitude of from 10,000 
to 13,000 feet, more than two or three being seldom seen at a time ; 
and, like the Goldfinch, they are not confined to a distinct locality."

" Observed in flocks about cultivations ; rather shy ; gregarious ; 
feeds on thistles, on which they cling." — (Griffith's MS. Notes.)
