Every winter, as the vast landscapes of Siberia and temperate Asia surrender to ice and snow, a remarkable natural phenomenon unfolds: a mass migration of millions of birds seeking survival in warmer climes. Among the most resilient of these avian voyagers is the Siberian Stonechat (Saxicola maurus), a tiny bird that flies thousands of kilometers to the Indian subcontinent. In Telangana, this little flycatcher becomes a familiar, welcome sight during the cooler months, transforming open scrublands and wetland margins into temporary winter homes.

The Siberian Stonechat is a chunky little bird of open landscapes; often seen on exposed perches. The breeding male has a black head, broad white half-collar, and rusty-red chest while the non-breeding male is patchier, with a paler head and chest.

The Common Sandpiper (Actitis hypoleucos) is a small, migratory wader known for its constant head-and-tail bobbing motion. It breeds across Europe and Asia, wintering in warmer climes like Mokila, Telangana, and Sungei Buloh, Singapore.

Adaptable to both freshwater and coastal habitats, it forages for insects and invertebrates in shallow water and mud. A largely solitary bird during migration, the Common Sandpiper is a widespread species whose conservation depends on preserving the global network of wetlands it utilizes during its remarkable annual journey.
