Tawny Pipit drying its wings and feather by standing in front of Sun on a rock on a grassy land.
The tawny pipit (Anthus campestris) is a medium-large passerine bird which breeds in much of temperate Europe and Asia, and northwest Africa. It is a migrant moving in winter to tropical Africa and the Indian song is a short repetition of a loud disyllabic chir-ree chir-ree. The tawny pipit breeds between mid-April and mid-August, with the exact times of year varying depending on the location. It performs a quaint mating display, which consists of flying up to 30 metres while singing. The nest of the tawny pipit is made of leaves and roots and lined with hair and fine plant material. The female builds the nest in a hollow on the ground or in a tuft of grass, and lays a clutch of three to six eggs. The young are fed by both parents for the first two weeks, and are cared for over the next five weeks
