A Puff Throated Babbler out in the open

A small resident babbler maybe around ~15 cms long / tall with a lovely call. They are quite a garrulous bunch much like their cousins. But they are often very hard to spot since they forage on the forest floor - areas with lots of thick bushes (and snakes) - usually walking up and down the thick jumble of dry bushes looking for insects and other food.

 

We sighted them on the forest floor during a recent birdwalk. Luckily for me, the ground was elevated like a platform full of scrubby bush where I got this lifer and great shot at eye level. Couldn't be more happier!

 

Thank you very much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
