17th October 2009, Kemensah, Selangor  Lifer: Asian Paradise-Flycatcher (Terpsiphone paradisi) local name: Murai Ekor Gading. A male ( inceri ) with long tail feathers. ( Very noisy long-range shot without flash taken on Saturday 17.10.09). |
| These are migrant birds probably just passing through. They are very tough to photograph as they are almost constantly moving.
Unsure of the gender (taken 17.10.09). The male starts breeding while still in female-like plumage with short tail.
This is most probably a female (taken on Sunday 18.10.09).

I missed this beautiful bird that sunday.
ReplyDeletegreat find, and with many migrating birds are passing thru...we will be treated with more good photos to come.
ReplyDeletethat one was female. male got long white tail.
ReplyDeleteTQ Anonymous. You are refering to the male white 'morph' which is all white except the head.
ReplyDeleteThe tail of this male inceri has not grown the full length but one can already see that the two trailing tail feathers have started to grow (compare this to the bottom right photo which is the normal length of tail for a female).
I would say that the top left and bottom left are also male.
