You should consider adding this to the Animal Architecture mission too!
Lovely pics, especially of the male with white tail.
Indeed! That is the white morph variant I mentioned above.
Thank u !!
Thank you
Oops wrong person! But you both have fabulous photos!!
perfect as us !! it will be very nice to meet u one day , for sharing experience !!
Malcolm, I cant keep up with all of your beautiful pictures. They are breath taking
Sort of, I will try to photograph birds (and animals) wherever I go if time permits and we often plan some bird-watching when we go on holidays.
yes !! for african very difficult to shoot ! amazing are u birdwatcher ? !
OK, I have pics of both Asian variants and the African in my long queue waiting for upload. They rarely stay still long enough to photograph!
truee , i have the pic of male but not very clear i will put it now :D !
Just to add, this is actually a female, the male has very long tail streamers which more than double its length and, although it is often the same colour there is also a "white morph" variant (male only) where the head is the same but the body and tail are white. The African Paradise Flycatcher is very similar while the Japanese Paradise Flycatcher is much darker brown.
