Rare find- Bristled grass bird (vulnerable species)

[Nishith Kumar]

Bristled grassbird (Chaetornis striata) is a vulnerable species found in Indian Subcontinent. This grassland specialist has a small, rapidly declining population owing to the loss and degradation of its grassland habitat. This pic is probably the first documented shot of the species in Lucknow. Special thanks to Dr. Able Lawrence and Nelson George from our SGPGIMS Lucknow birding team for identifying the bird. Will post another pic soon!!
