Скачать или смотреть Ashy Prinia - Preening and Call

The Ashy Prinia, previously called the Ashy Wren-Warbler (Prinia socialis) is a small warbler in the family Cisticolida.

The species is believed to be monogamous, and both the male and the female take part in incubation and feeding, though to varying extents.

This prinia is a resident breeder in the Indian Subcontinent, ranging across most of India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and western Myanmar.

Several types of nests have been described, including a flimsy cup made by sewing several large leaves, an oblong purse-like structure with grass stems inside it, and a flimsy ball of grass. The usual nest is built low in a bush and consists of leaves stitched together with webs, lined with hair and having an entrance on the side. It lays 3 to 5 glossy, somewhat oval-shaped eggs. They vary in colour from brick-red to rich chestnut.
