Observation details
Went on a mission to search to check if the ultramarine flycatcher has returned. Found instead a big surprise. Will attach pic of all 4 individuals. Seeing 1 is joy...but seeing 4 is like on the moon. Was lucky to see their courtship dance. They seem to perch on top of a bamboo twig and face each other and swing their wings in synchronisation. Seeing something like this the very first time. I am also puzzled why their breeding season is not in sync with the yellow and cinnamon bitterns. Nevertheless a heart filling experience ! Will attach a courtship pic....very poor light in this click.
