"Let it be, will ya."
Had a hard time scampering over the secondary forest floor, stalking and chasing and relocating this dude, going in a few circles.. large wings in flight, languidly navigating itself among the crowded woods bewteen trees.. cant notice it even when near, until you're too near, you'll flush it out again. it'll fly for short distance around the woods to quickly get under cover and the whole chase begins again fro the searcher...

Ever calling and push comes to shove, the bird relentlessly and fearlessly scour the lotus pond for insects between the dead leaves with precision and stealth.. mostly successful, he will bring the fodder to the female tucked hiddened in a tree perch. Then he's down to the pond again for more grub.

Once used to be vagrant, but now in the past few years has become a common passage migrant with huge flocks from hundreds (2012)and thousands (2013). Feed on the Apple-snails abundant and rife in the ricefield, much to the chagrin of the farmers. Some wish for the birds to come to their fields...
