| Remarks : | While I was trying to observe the nesting behaviour of this bird I happened to see something unusual. After completing nest building and egg laying this bird built one more nest very close to the first one and laid one more egg. Unfortunately, the nest was destroyed by the fodder collectors, so we couldn't complete our observation. In our area this bird is very shy and elusive, so very difficult to photograph. - AAV |
