==Distribution and ecology== The range of this species is essentially [[China]], covering large areas of the country though not further north than [[Beijing]]. It occurs in plains and low lying river valleys in fairly open country and cultivated regions and is a common sight in paddy fields. It tends to avoid large towns and cities and is predominantly a rural species. Food is sought mainly on the ground where a large range of items are taken, such as [[insect]]s, [[mollusk]]s and other invertebrates (even from shallow water), grains, especially [[rice]] and it also searches among refuse for suitable food items left by humans. It appears to take less carrion than other species but will if the opportunity arises, and will also take eggs and nestlings. The nest is usually in a tree and is plastered with mud. There are usually 3β4 eggs laid. It was classified as [[least concern]] by the [[International Union for the Conservation of Nature]] in 2004 before being upgraded to [[near threatened]] status in 2008. It is considered a [[vulnerable species]] as of 2018.<ref name=IUCN/>
