The Indian bushlark

The Indian bushlark, also known as the red winged bushlark, perched nearby at Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve.. The place is well known for tiger spotting, but also a great place to see other mammals and birds alike..

 

The song-flight during the mating season is an amazing spectacle. The bird flutters high over the ground, then holds its wings in an open V and "parachutes" down to its perch uttering its song consisting of short tweets and cheeps in three syllables followed by a longer fourth syllable. This combination is repeated till the bird perches again.(courtesy: wikipedia)
