Thumbalina



We spotted this thumb-sized baby chakla right outside our gate. It still couldn't fly and started running as we pointed our camera towards it. Chakla in Gujarati is the word for sparrow. But these aren't your ordinary Passers. I haven't seen birds like these anywhere in India. They come in troupes of seven and perch on ledges, trees, telephone wires, electric lines. Such is the popularity of the bird that in Vadodara it has a circle named after it - Chakli circle!

A closeup photo might give some clue for its identification.
