Observation details

By far, the best views I have had of this species so far. Two or three birds were foraging low over the trees, occasionally oddly shaking their wings. I tried to capture this behavior, but I'm not fully satisfied with the results. Still, I was happy to get the photos since this species belongs to the most beautiful birds I have seen so far.
