A Paddyfield Pipit in action under the sun
A very common bird in our region in the grasslands and open areas. An insectivorous bird that flies in short bursts of undulating flying pattern which appears playful.
The bird lays nests on the ground in the grasslands or dry lake beds similar to other birds like Oriental Pratincoles, Stilts and Sparrowlarks etc.. Last summer, I went to check on the nests and it was impossible to sight them since they were extraordinarily camouflaged. An expert showed me the nests and I had to trudge in his footsteps to avoid stamping on those nests.
The start of winter sees its number grow gradually as the number of insects grows exponentially due to increase in moisture and good weather conditions.
