" This species, so nearly allied to the European one (A. ispida), is 
common throughout the Peninsula, frequenting brooks and rivers 
(Colonel Sykes says, * never seen in gardens'), and feeds on small 
fish and various aquatic insects." — (Jerd., Madr. Journ. XI. p. 231.) 
" It is frequently seen seated on a stick standing upright in a 
paddy-field, watching for small fishes in the shalloAV water. C. W.
