Thank you very much Shrikant ji ... (your morning response was addressed to me alone ... thus did not get to EOI).
As responded to you ... ... unfortunately, it did not occur to me then to take photo of the habitat ... these are the only two photographs. Supporting reason: it was drizzling !!! Recollecting, it was patch of grassy area with about 2 - 6 inch high plants spread over approximately 30 - 50 sq m. The GPS co-ordinates ... fairly precise: 18°42'32.71"N, 73°23'20.34"E ± 1 - 2 seconds The altitude 791 m asl could be ± 10 m (measured with Google Earth) Regards.
