There is but little to be said about the habits of this species; it is no friend to the more richly cultivated and irrigated portions of even Sindh; in Larkana for instance it is far less common, but in the barer portions of the country where here and there a few stunted tamarisk or acacia bushes sparsely dot, what in the cold weather seems a barren waste, L. arenarius is to be met with, perched on the top most twig of almost every other bush, from which it makes, from time to time, short excursions on rapidly beating wings, and after a moment’s pause upon the sand to devour some grasshoppers, or fly, returns, unless disturbed, to its former perch.
