Wow spotting of the week!! Sweet.
Must have been quite small judging by the size of the leaves & twigs on the ground. What a great find. Thanks for sharing Ashok.
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!
