Field Notes

Description:

Small brown bird ( 7cm ) with fish scale like markings on the chest.

Habitat:

Lower Seletar Reservoir. Near jungle and on the edge of the reservoir in the grass field.

Notes:

It was far away and rather skittish so I could not take a great picture.
It seemed they were "walking" on the grass.
