I was in China (Tibetan Plateau and environs) June 2014 with a UK bird tour. We did great on birds, okay on mammals — it just was NOT a mammal trip is the thing, so I missed some probably easy things like Corsac Fox. (One night drive could have helped a lot in the desert, for example.) Still, we did get Pallas’s Cat, and a good mix of pika spp. My list is attached as a Word document, just by way indicating what others might expect. / Charles Hood, Palmdale, CA
