Paradise flycatcher
One of the birds in Brunei that I always wanted to get on camera is the asian paradise flycatcher. Occasionally these birds are seen in the forests surrounding Labi road and Teraja. Last weekend, during a morning trip to Teraja, we encountered a loud and active male. It flew around us for several minutes - seeing it was one, getting a picture proved a different matter.
I finally did get a couple of shots that nicely illustrate how the species got its name. No mistaking this bird, what a splendid little fellow!
