Indian bushlark

Hampi, Karnataka

A very small, beautiful, and vibrant bird that we saw in Hampi, on a barren ground where we also found Chestnut-bellied Sandgrouse with chicks. Amateur birders might easily overlook it, thinking it's just another bush lark, but due to its distinctive call, Pampayya Sir identified the bird and showed it to us. Although he knew it could be found on that ground, we were lucky to spot it there. The bird is shy, so it’s difficult to get a good shot if you step out of your car. However, we stayed inside the car, and it gave us enough time to take some photos. I hope you enjoy the video on my YouTube channel.
