Field Notes

Description:

Lots of these about, not all the same one. They fly out from a perch to catch flying insects and often return to the same perch, hence the possibility to get pictures like the last one.

Habitat:

Coastal park

Thanks Atul, the first picture is probably the best I have ever taken of one of these, lighting, sun and everything else just about perfect! They seem to show their colours much better in Borneo than other parts of Asia.
