Interesting evasive behaviour
Mr Ajeet Bharos , on 10 August 2011 observed, about 40 sparrows congregating on small Accacia arabica tree near his residence.
A shikra prowling in locality saw them , arrived and perched atop the tree, no sooner it perched all the sparrows entered the interior of canopy/ foliage seeking protection.of thorns.
sparrows as well as the shikra , neither of them were prepared to leave the tree, even though Ajeet approached within 20 feet of them. They remained in this state for about 10 minutes, when the patience of the Shikra gave way it flew to other place , thereafter the sparrows became normal and after a minute or so came out.
sparrows congregate in very good numbers to roost here.
