Paddyfield Pipit, Oriental pipit, Anthus rufulus, Ciak Bendang
This is a large pipit at 15 cm, but is otherwise an undistinguished looking bird, mainly streaked grey-brown above and pale below with breast streaking. It is long legged with a long tail and a long dark bill. Sexes are similar. A widespread species found in open habitats, especially short grassland and cultivation with open bare ground. It runs rapidly on the ground, and when flushed, does not fly far. It feeds principally on small insects but consumes larger beetles, tiny snails, worms etc. while walking on the ground, and may pursue insects like mosquitoes or termites in the air.
Exif: f6.3, 1/640, ISO 200, focal length 800mm, Cik Canon EOS 80D, lens Canon 400mm, TC 2.0, tripod
