The Pale-backed Pigeon is a medium-sized, migratory pigeon known for its subtle pale grey plumage. It undertakes long migrations between its breeding grounds in Central Asia and wintering areas in India.
Where to spot
Breeds in Central Asia (e.g., Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan) in open woodlands and riverine habitats; winters in the Indian subcontinent in agricultural areas and open country.
How to spot
Look for a pale grey pigeon, particularly noting a distinct pale (often whitish) patch on its lower back and rump, which is noticeable in flight. Observe in flocks, often feeding on the ground.
When to spot
Breeding season from spring to late summer; wintering season from autumn to early spring. Best observed during migration periods in spring and autumn.
