Field Notes

Description:

The most beautiful specimen of this species that i have come across till now.
He was on a tree at about 5 feet, calling out loudly. It took me a while to spot this guy. He seemed to be camera shy, always trying to face away from camera.While i was taking some record shots and it started to rain, then all of a sudden he was not there on the tree!!
He was on this broad leaf that was a perfect stage for him.Then on he was least bothered about my presence, even the sudden movement of to leaf due to the wind didn't bother him.

Habitat:

Trees, bushes.

Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
