Uncommon habitat choice! See where the other leg is? hint: look for the nails 💅😄
Observation details
1. 22˚47'32.72" N, 88˚18'2.89" E we flushed it by mistake at first when entering the area. Many species of birds were active in this area (warblers, starlings, swallows, manias) since this is the only bit of grass & scrubby jungle left in the midst of vast agricultural field at this time. 2. Later on when we were photographing/looking for other birds, it suddenly flew in and perched very close. Uncommon habitat that it chose! 3. Gave enough time to photograph & video recording. Looks like it doesn't like to use its both leg much! It perched right-legged most of the time 😆 4. Photos & videos TBA...
