The South Georgia Pipit is a unique and highly specialized pipit species, endemic to the remote sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia. It is the only passerine bird native to the island.
Where to spot
Endemic to the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia. Found in tussock grasslands and coastal areas, particularly near breeding colonies of seabirds where insects are abundant.
How to spot
Look for it foraging among tussock grass. It is relatively bold and approachable in areas free from invasive predators. Its short tail and relatively plain plumage are characteristic.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during the warmer months when invertebrate activity is higher.

This pipit has remarkably adapted to its harsh, cold, and windy sub-Antarctic environment, feeding primarily on invertebrates found among tussock grass.
