" This is distributed oyer the whole of the Indian peninsula, with 
the exception of lower Bengal, where Mr. Blyth states it is not 
found, and it is also included in Mr. Layard's ' List of the Birds of 
Ceylon.' Mr. Jerdon mentions: "Found only in beds of rivers;" 
and Captain Boys states that it "is very nimble on its legs, and 
runs with great facility, constantly jerking its tail, and, like the 
other members of the genus, making occasional jumps after flies and 
other insects. It is not so common as the other Indian species, and 
differs much in weight, according to the season, but generally 
averages between nine and ten drachms." — (Gould.)
