Asian Paradise Flycatcher

Terpsiphone paradisi

Description:

A very active bird. Difficult to click given the fact that it does not stay on one branch for more then 3 seconds. Flies away at the slightest noise. The second picture gives an idea of the size of the tail of this bird. My previous spotting of a young male from the same place: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/114...

Habitat:

Seen at Madhav National Park.

Notes:

Also known as Doodhraaj in the local language, because of the "milky white" colour.
