The Pechora Pipit is an enigmatic migratory pipit species that breeds in the Arctic tundra and taiga of Eurasia. It is notoriously difficult to observe due to its elusive nature and dense habitat.

Where to spot

Breeds in Arctic Eurasia (e.g., northern Russia, Siberia). Migrates through much of Asia to winter in Southeast Asia. Found in wet tundra, bogs, and marshy grasslands, often in dense vegetation.

How to spot

This is a highly skulking species. Look for brief glimpses as it creeps through dense grass. Its loud, distinctive 'chip' call is often the primary way to detect it. Patience is essential.

When to spot

Best observed during migration (autumn and spring) as it passes through various habitats. Breeding grounds are remote and challenging.
