Nest building
I spot a White-rumped Shama behind a motorcycle while birding at Khao Yai in Thailand. A female busy building a nest and she was a little scared when I approached.And the White-rumped Shama is really not scared normally. They can come up and almost sit on you. I have almost stamped on a few of them standing next to me and I have not seen them.I almost soil myself when they take off just next to me. Anyway, she collected building material and she landed on a pole keeping an eye on me. Then she jumped to the motorcycle. After a while she didn't care about me and she landed right on the motorcycle and in to the nest.
