Clamorous reed warbler ticked off by a ‘nosey’ white-breasted water hen
The Hindu
Was this warbler found at a clump of reeds at the Sholinganallur Perumbakkam Marshlands feeling impelled to defend something out there in the reed bed?
In a clump of reeds at the Sholinganallur Perumbakkam Marshlands, a small bird is sitting on its high horse and giving a bird three times its size, a withering look. The bird that is bristling with anger, its feathers fluffed out menacingly, is a clamorous reed warbler. At the receiving end of this petulant behaviour is a white-breasted waterhen, endearingly untouched by the acrimony. All the while, the waterhen is mildly curious, and the fury from the warbler only seems to have intensified the curiosity.More Related News
