The moment we entered their territory they started asking this question. Did you do it? Did you do it? I told them several times and yet they wouldn't be convinced. They kept on repeating the question. Did you do it? And what aggression. They were coming very close to us. Almost ready to strike.
We were two of us Suman and I. They were also just two of them. Vociferously guarding their nesting site. We were walking along a partition between two large but shallow fisheries ponds. They thought we were going to raid their nest which must have been somewhere close by. We were going in search of the common shelducks. And the moment we turned a bend their calls stopped.
The same vociferous defence of their nesting site resumed when we came back down the same narrow path. But we could not help it as it was the only available path. I did record the call and of course took a few photographs also. But we didn't do it.
