Observation details
1. 22.51671° N, 87.97019° E photo needs identification 2. 2056 – Nominate was parched about 3-4 meters high on the edge of a bamboo grove, with no other birds found nearby. 3. While looking for owls, we found it with our searchlight. However , it didn't show any movement at all, even though we focused our lights from different sides and while taking the pictures. 4. It had its head tucked in backwards, and I detected the mosquitos full of blood around its legs (and one under tail) only while processing the images later. 5. We took only one (an array of three burst shots) photo which is attached here. A keen look will also reveal hind claw movement (opening) in microseconds, if three consecutive shots are compared.
