| Remarks : | Found this solitary bird foraging over relatively open scrubby ground. It periodically paused to look at us and again probe the ground. After a while, with the full length of its bill it pulled out an insect larva, tossed it in the air and cought it in its bill and gulped it down. - KDS |
