Field Notes

Habitat:

Agricultural fields.

Notes:

The monsoon showers in south India has ended and all the birds have become busy chirping, flocking and feeding. It is really nice. I have seen few of these small birds (i shall upload) after their months long absence among fields. :) ID will be appreciated.
