This bird occurs rarely at Bham6, but at Ponsee it is not uncommon in small 

 parties of four or seven. It fed regularly on the old rice terraces below our camp, 

 and when disturbed used to betake itself to the low shrubs close by. At Sanda, I 

 found it in and about low shrubby patches, on the grassy hill sides behind the town.
