Grey Bushchat















Grey bushchat is a wonderful bird with a size of about 15cms. the male is grey in colour with white underparts and the female has brownish body. they can be seen playing, chasing and chit-chatting justifying the name bushchat. The male is very possessive and territorial. i have seen it many times fighting with its own mirror image in the rear view mirror of my car.and the most interesting part is that it comes back times and again to chase away the competitor untill i fold the mirror. this particular behaviour of the grey bushchat(male) is very fascinating. it is commonly seen between 1200-3000meters in summers and can be seen in the lower altitudes as well especially in the winters.
