Blue & White Flycatcher

5th March 2011, Bukit Tinggi, Pahang.

Scientific name: Cyanoptila cyanomelana

A new arrival in Bukit Tinggi, a beautiful  first-winter male Blue & White Flycatcher. They are scarce and  uncommon passage migrant to this region.

It seemed that she preferred the green metal trusses  to perch while waiting for the moths that she was after,  getting a chance to shoot her on a natural perch was few and far  between.
