Observation details
The first record of this species, at this lake. I first saw it perched in the Moringa tree a home garden at the edge of the lake, and observed it for over 45 minutes. The Moringa tree was flanked by a couple of Papaya and a Neem trees on both sides, and it kept moving back and forth between this Moringa/Papaya/Neem tree complex and the Prosopsis bushes, about 15 feet away. I also observed its feeding bhaviour. It ate at least 12 caterpillars while in the Moringa tree area. It also fed on bark of Casuarina tree log that was used in that home garden to support the plants.
