Momentary pause while singing, and quickly checking me out.

Observation details

1. 22.61093° N, 87.99930° E Spotted while it was singing. Then found it visually. 2. While walking through the broken-asphalt road on the east side of the canal, I heard an uncommon song and call from the other side. Remembered the species as I've seen & heard it before at কাঁকড়াঝোড় and গড়জঙ্গল. Without much effort I found it singing from a bush at the edge of a pond, beside the westside road of the canal. Decided to go back and go round about through the culvert for closer inspection. 3. Found three BLBI and one CIBI leaving the place. Luck was on my side, as this individual started vocalizing again. After some waiting and positioning myself, the bird took its original place and started singing again, however the view was obscured. By this time I had some record shots. 4. Went onto photographing some other birds (PLPR family with juveniles, SBMunia family group, TRMU). After some more time, the bird again parched at the same bush but this time found a good view. 5. Focused onto it again and started taking pictures while slowly moving near to it with my face covered with my camera. Shot as many still pictures as I wanted and didn't need to move any closer. 6. Now, I decided to record a video, but a villager with a motor bike came through the unpaved path behind me. This must have disturbed the bird as it decided to move away. No video this time, although this bird was very tolerant. Can't complain though, as have had enough close-up shots already, also short segments of audio recording... Especially given this is the first time reporting of ASPR in eBird from this district 🤩 7. Photos TBA...
