Rare passage migrant through the western parts of Ghizer and Diamer districts. Mainly found in swampy lowland areas with thick cover of reeds and sparse bushes; also in areas of damp meadows, tall grass stands, hedgerows and overgrown orchards.

Forages low down in thick vegetation, where hops in manner of a mouse or wren through bases of vegetation and undergrowth, presence often revealed only by loud, distinctive song. Feeds mostly on items taken from ground. Food consists mostly of damselflies, aphids, molluscs and other small invertebrates; occasionally small seeds.
