Common babbler

[Prajwal J Ullal]

Spotted this common babbler traversing the burnt down grass land of Bhandup pumping station. Interesting thing was it wasnt much bothered by my presence and rather kept on maintaining safe distance from me and kept on searching for something in the black ashy ground, probably some insects. This continued on till almost 50-100m and then it finally took off and took perch on a shrub and later disappeared along with few other babblers.

Nice eye contact. Good light. Just a bit less space on the right would have been good to make in an off centered composition. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.

Nice image. Are Common Babblers becoming less common or Jungle Babblers draw our attention more because they are known for continual chattering?
But one thing I may say for sure, the Jungle Babblers will appear from nowhere for mobbing if any snake enters my backyard during summer or rains. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild
