This species is widespread and occurs in Uzbekistan during its migration between breeding grounds further north and wintering grounds in Africa and on the Indian subcontinent. It is found predominantly in steppe and semi-desert habitats, feeding mainly on small mammals. It has been severely affected by the conversion of steppe habitat to agricultural lands and is adversely affected by power line and wind energy infrastructure. It is now listed as Endangered by the IUCN.
