Observation details
After waiting for almost 4 hours at the Nursery we finally found this bird in a largish ditch with shallow water (adjoining the nursery). While scanning the ditch intently we found a bird sallying at ground level. It would sally on the ground and then retreat in a jumble of dead branches, occasionally fanning its tail while perched. It kept sallying at ground level and appeared to be skulking in the dense thicket of dead branches. The rufous wash extends below the chest all the way down to belly and flanks. Recorded a call too.
