“This week, share a photo that has a little something extra: an unexpected visitor, or a tranquil landscape with a splash of color. A lone carrot in a sea of peas. Draw us in with a humorous detail, or find a photo with an added element that makes it an image only you could capture.”
Here goes. The Scaly-breasted Munia (also called Spice Finch) is the ‘extra’ among the White-rumped Munias in the first three pictures. but the situation is reversed in the last picture.
