The Japanese Pipit is a migratory pipit species breeding in East Asia and wintering further south. It is often found in open grasslands, fields, and wetlands.
Where to spot
Breeds in Japan, Sakhalin, and the Kuril Islands. Migrates south to coastal East Asia, parts of China, and Southeast Asia for winter. Found in open fields, cultivated land, and wetlands.
How to spot
Look for a typical streaky brown pipit foraging on the ground. Distinguishing it from other similar pipits (like Buff-bellied Pipit) requires careful attention to plumage details, vocalizations, and range.
When to spot
Breeding season (spring/summer) in its northern range; autumn/winter in its southern range.
