Dissemination. In Kazakhstan, it is spread in a narrow intermittent strip along the Tien Shan ridges from Talas, Ugam and Karzhantau in the west to the Zailiysky and Kungey Alatau in the east. It migrates south in winter and is more of an exception within Kazakhstan, although in recent years it has become increasingly common in winter within Almaty.
