Summary:
When I was leisurely walking along edge of the peripheral reedy growth, I unexpectedly came across a small flock of little birds having size somewhat smaller than that of House Sparrows. They had emerged from one point of the cattail growth, flew hurriedly and briefly over the cattail canopy only to plunge and disappear into the cattail vegetation again. Red Avadavats are not obligate inhabitants of reedy/cattail-covered areas of the wetlands, but they certainly have affinity to watery areas. They certainly love reedy and cattail growth at/adjacent to wetlands to breed (mainly during monsoons). Visit some reedy wetland to try your luck of seeing these feathered red jewels!.
