Observation details
Three different individuals observed together in a dense grassland patch on a island. It's like the happiness of bringing back an endangered species. We couldn't believe our eyes for some moments. Inglis was probably the first to report this species from the political boundaries of WB in the year 1920. Although no specimens were found in the NHMUK. So many potential habitats were mentioned including the sub-Himalayan terai, duars, and the Gangetic plains until Bengal. We were able to include it on the West Bengal checklist based on Ajay Home's detailed description from Bolpur in the year 1980. Although there was no photographic documentation till date.
