Historical
Distribution. A winter visitor to the plains of India, ranging as far east as about the longitude of Mudhupur on the E.I. Railway, where it meets P. superciliosus, and the two are found there together. It extends south to about the latitude of Belgaum. It is found throughout the Himalayas as far as Nepal, but it has not occurred in Sikhim. I cannot find it recorded from Sind or from the drier parts of Rajputaua, but elsewhere within the limits above indicated it seems to be common. It is known to breed abundantly in Kashmir, and probably its migration does not extend beyond the Himalayas. Habits, &c. The breeding-season seems to commence in May in Kashmir. The nest, a cup of coarse grass, lined with moss-roots, is built on the ground on banks and sides of ravines. The eggs, four or five in number, are white spotted with red, and measure 0.56 by 0.44. . |
