  This 
  splendid 
  bird 
  lives 
  in 
  southern 
  Turkestan 
  in 
  the 
  great 
  Merv 
  Oasis. 
  In 
  north-western 
  Afghar&jtan 
  

   it 
  has 
  been 
  found 
  in 
  tamarisk 
  and 
  grass 
  jungle 
  growing 
  in 
  the 
  bed 
  of 
  the 
  river. 
  It 
  wades 
  and 
  even, 
  swims 
  

   in 
  the 
  water 
  of 
  these 
  marshes, 
  but 
  feeds 
  in 
  the 
  more 
  open, 
  dry 
  country. 
  

  

  This 
  form 
  has 
  been 
  successfully 
  introduced 
  into 
  England 
  and 
  elsewhere.
