Field Notes

Description:

Small bird with prominently streaked top of the front.

Habitat:

On an electric wire. Spotted it as we were driving past after visiting an excavated site in Khajuraho, Madhya Pradesh...saw two other bird species here as well. Three species and only two minutes to spot hem...that too from inside a car...the driver refused to let me get down.
