The female was spotted there flycatching. On the other side of the road, there is a waterway leading downstream. The brilliant male was around the darker corner of the sewer, always peeping out from a hole in the wall and descending to perch for brief moments on the bank beneath. You can find a convenient vantage point at where an avenue joins the main road on the right when you just enter the village. Also, peculiarly, I have seen White-eyes, Bulbuls, Yellow-browed Warblers and flycatchers flycatching around there. It was spectacular. Good luck for your birding!
