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
Common summer visitor to all the areas of Gilgit-Baltistan except for Ghanche and Kharmang. Found in pine and birch forests, groves along streams, sea-buckthorn bushes and on hillsides covered with juniper in semi-arid mountain valleys up to 4400m.
Usually forages alone or in small groups; in non-breeding season may join mixed-species flocks. Items gleaned during active foraging in foliage, also collected on ground. Food items include small insects including their adults and larvae and spiders, probably also some small berries in autumn.
