This species appears to have an extremely limited range, 
breeding in the North-west Himalayas, crossing the plains of 
India on migration, and wintering in Southern India. 
Brooks found it abundant in Cashmere (Ibis, 1872, p. 29), 
and says that it also breeds at Rogee and Chenee (Ibis, 1869, 
p. 457). Its eggs have also been taken at Murree (Stray 
Feathers, 1873, p. 355) . Blyth says that it is found in South 
India in the cold season (J. A. S. Beng. 1854, p. 483). 
Brooks describes the nest of this species as not domed, but 
placed in a hole under the roots of a large tree on some st^ep 
bank-side—a loosely formed structure lined with fine grass, 
a little wool, and a few hairs. Eggs pure white,
