Jungle Babbler (Argya Striata) Eating Indo-Pacific Gecko - Rare Sighting

A Jungle Babbler (Argya striata) preys on a juvenile Indo-Pacific Gecko (Hemidactylus Garnotii) lizard, thrashing it to break it into small pieces until it is small enough to swallow in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on March 29, 2026. Jungle Babblers, also known as ''Seven Sisters'' or ''Saat Bhai,'' are gregarious birds found in the Indian subcontinent, often foraging in small groups and adapting to various habitats, including open forests and urban gardens.
