The plain prinia
I was sat on the shore of Lake Chilika, waiting for some water birds to come close, when this little guy kept hopping around the reeds... So i clicked, not knowing what it was... In fact thinking it was a Sparrow or something... nope, just another one for my archives! :)
The plain prinia is a small warbler in the Cisticolidae family. It is a resident breeder from Pakistan and India to south China and southeast Asia. This skulking passerine bird is typically found in wet lowland grassland, open woodland, scrub and sometimes gardens. The plain prinia builds its nest in a shrub or tall grass and lays three to six eggs.
