Good habitat photograph of this ever-alert looking bird. It lays its eggs in the nests of other birds,mostly in those of the babblers in this part of the country,for them to hatch and bring up.Its call is a loud "pipew pipew".Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Beautiful image Prashant. Nice composition. A bit more space at the bottom would have been great.

Prashant,
This is a nice image. slightly more space at the bottom would have been better. Did you get this in Hessarghatta? Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi
