Distribution, abundance and habitat preference of the Western Tragopan in the Palas Valley, Pakistan

This data set contains occurrence data of the Western Tragopan (Tragopan melanocephalus) from a field survey in the Palas Valley, Pakistan. Numbers of calling individuals were counted during a standardized call count survey at 23 survey sites during the breeding season in April and May 2017 and 2018.

Along with data from call count surveys we provide single point occurrences from transect walks in May and November 2019 (all sightings were counted, one occurrence refers to one individual).
