Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast
Rare passage migrant through central Gilgit-Baltistan, mainly in Hunza, Nagar, Gilgit and Diamer. Favors steppe-desert and semi-desert areas covered with low scrub and grasses, usually in sandy terrain, also on rocky hills and stony soils.
Forages mainly on ground or at low height; gleans items from scrub, grasses and low bushes, or picks them directly from ground and from among roots. Follows shrikes and wheatears to prey on insects disturbed by them. Apparently feeds mostly on small insects, also some seeds and berries. Invertebrate food includes adult and larval butterflies and moths, spiders, bugs, ants and beetles.
