Field Notes
Description:
The Ashy Prinia or Ashy Wren-Warbler is a small warbler. This prinia is a resident breeder in the Indian Subcontinent, ranging across most of India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and western Myanmar. It is a common bird in urban gardens and farmland in many parts of India and its small size, distinctive colours and upright tail make it easy to identify. The northern populations have a rufous rump and back and have a distinct breeding and non-breeding plumage while other populations lack such variation.
Habitat:
Found this bird and many like these on the eletric wires @ Mydanahalli. It is off Tumkur Road in the nearby Village.
There are usually found in dry open grassland, open woodland, scrub and in home gardens in many cities.
