Rufescent Prinia - Coral Cape, TH

This little bird was making its way through a date palm plantation in the undergrowth beneath the trees. The farm was right on the coast in Coral Cape just off the road in to the beach. It was interesting to watch how it quickly and quietly disappeared for minutes at a time hunting through the thick greenery popping out a couple feet away. Prinia are sometimes called "wren-warblers" and I couldn't agree more. I first thought I was looking at at a wren looking for something to eat but also had a look of a warbler with a long thin beak.
