A very rare winter migrant to open scrubland, grasslands, marshes, and paddy fields across the country, mainly in the dry lowlands. It typically glides slowly just a few feet above the ground over marshes, paddy fields, and other open habitats, feeding on frogs, rodents, lizards, small birds, snakes, grasshoppers, and similar prey. It often perches on the ground and roosts at night in open fields and marshes, sometimes loosely associating with other harriers of the same or different species. The Pied Harrier breeds in the tundra regions of eastern Asia.
