I spotted a flock of scaly-breasted munia feeding on the grassland in my uncle's farm. It was a sunny and windy morning. The lovely feeding behavior drive me to switch my camera to video mode. This short video clip shows one of the scaly-breasted munia feeding on the grass seeds.

Great video footage of a cool bird! Looks like your uncle's farm is a good spot.I used to get full-sized video with my canon S2IS but my Pansonic fz35 videos turn out small and letterboxed on blogger-don't know why.
