| Remarks : | Record shot of an individual which has been a frequent visitor (for the previous 2 weeks) to the photographer's back yard, where he has observed it often fighting with an Indian Robin Saxicoloides fulicata over a patch of wet ground where they both feed. The bird is a vagrant to the Indian Subcontinent and this is by far the southernmost record of this species from the Indian mainland. |
