Dr. Scully writes : — " This species is a seasonal visitant to Eastern Turkestan, where it 

 breeds ; it was observed on several occasions in June and in July, but was never met with in 

 winter. The bird frequents undulating ground covered with short grass, and is very shy. It 

 runs about very swiftly in the uneven ground which it affects, and its flight is strong and 

 undulating. Its note, which it utters as it rises, is a sweet soft twitter. It probably hatches 

 about the beginning of July, as on the 31st of that month some young birds of this species 

 were seen between Igarchi and Posgam. The Turki name for this bird is ' Sairam,^ which 

 means ' singing.' "
