It is a widespread species in the Northern Hemisphere and is found in countries such as England, Southern Russia, Kazakhstan and Western China. In winter they fly to tropical countries and go back to countries of origin when the season ends They live and breed on the ground and feed on small insects. Although people don’t catch them and eat, they have a threat from stray dogs in the area. They lay around 2-3 eggs and therefore have to guard their eggs until a chick comes out. Thereafter they stay with parents for about 3-4 weeks before they fly. Therefore they are vulnerable within this one and a half months period. The stray dogs prey on the eggs and chicks
