“…Although second clutches have been reported in other populations (Hossain et al 1993), no second clutches were found over the course of this study. Mean clutch size (3.7 ± 1.2 eggs) during this study was similar to the mean clutch size reported elsewhere (Lamba 1966, Simwat & Sidhu 1973, Shivanarayan et al 1981, Hossain et al 1993, Pithon & Dytham 1999a). The estimate of 1.4 young fledged per nest during 2001-2003 was comparable to that found in Bangladesh and southern India (Shivanarayan et al 1981, Hossain et al 1993, but considerably lower than that reported elsewhere in India (Lamba 1966).…”
