Spotted
The Olive-backed Pipit is a medium-sized pipit characterized by its olive-green upperparts, distinct streaking on its breast, and a prominent pale supercilium. Unlike many other pipits, it prefers wooded rather than open habitats.
Where to spot
Breeds in boreal and temperate forests across northern Asia, including Siberia, and parts of East Asia. Winters in Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, and parts of the Middle East, favoring woodlands, gardens, and cultivation.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive olive-green back and strong facial pattern, including the prominent pale eyebrow. Often found singly or in small groups, foraging quietly on the ground under cover. Its call is a distinctive, often repeated 'tsip' or 'psit'.
When to spot
Best observed during spring and autumn migration periods, when they can be found outside their typical breeding or wintering grounds in a variety of habitats. Breeding birds are present in summer, and wintering birds in winter.

While most pipits are birds of open grasslands and tundra, the Olive-backed Pipit is an exception, typically found foraging in the undergrowth of forests and woodlands, often among leaf litter.
