Observation details

Two males, and a female visited a bathing puddle and I was able to differentiate the males as one had a blacker mask you can see from the photos I uploaded. The female was very shy and difficult to photograph, so I got none of her. I was a bit surprised how aggressive this species is. One lone male chased off a trio of Arrow-marked Babblers, which are substantially larger and also attacked a Spectacled Weaver that wanted to drop down to bathe. I think I found their nest on the Hospital grounds, and will document when/if I see activity. I'm not sure if it's a nest from last season.
