The Ground Tit is an extraordinary and unique tit species found on the Tibetan Plateau, notable for its predominantly terrestrial lifestyle and its habit of digging burrows for nesting. It has a sand-colored plumage.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Tibetan Plateau and surrounding high-altitude grasslands, found in open, arid grasslands with scattered shrubs.
How to spot
Look on open grasslands where it forages on the ground. Its terrestrial nature makes it quite conspicuous. Look for its burrows. Listen for its loud, whistling calls.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Most active during the day, particularly mornings and late afternoons.

Unlike almost all other tit species that nest in tree cavities, the Ground Tit excavates long, intricate burrows in the ground for its nest, similar to a ground squirrel or a sand martin.
