Mount Abu's fascinating dancer: The White-spotted fantail,
This little small daredevil, with its white spots on its breast,
Dances away and fanning the insects in its wake, its aerial sallies
Not be match for the for the tiny insects that are gobbled up in every launch that it makes.
The birder with his camera has to keep pace, to get that prized picture 
Of this species, with the white brow, and slim white collar and fan like tail.

The White-spotted fantail is a residential bird of Abu. It's very commonly seen here. In the nesting period, it's one of the most fearsome daredevils I've seen. It chases any bird even the fearsome Shikra if it enters its realm.
