The Sind Sparrow is a medium-sized sparrow found in the riparian habitats of the Indus River system in Pakistan and adjacent areas. It is distinct from other sparrows by its habitat preference.
Where to spot
Confined to the Indus River floodplains and its tributaries in Pakistan, with small extensions into adjacent Afghanistan, Iran, and India. Found in reed beds, tamarisks, and dense scrub near water.
How to spot
Search for it along rivers and canals with extensive reed beds and tall grasses. It can be elusive, moving through dense vegetation, but males may perch conspicuously. Listen for its distinctive calls.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during the breeding season (spring/summer) when males are more vocal and visible.

Unlike many sparrows that frequent human habitations, the Sind Sparrow is largely restricted to reed beds and scrub along riverbanks.
