However - perhaps it's the light, perhaps the camera-angle, or perhaps just me - but I would be less sure about ascribing photos 3,4 & 5 to Asian Paradise.     To my eyes, in these photos there is a definite maroon tinge to the mantle and a definite contrast between the rufous-brown rump and the duller, brown tail.   dave diskin Logged 深藍 Owen BBS Administrator LOVE KINGFISHER~!     Gender: Posts: 1358 Re: Asian Paradise-Flycatcher 壽帶鳥 « Reply #4 on: Aug 22nd, 2006, 10:31pm » Quote Modify Dave, except the first one I taken at 09:30.  the rest we taken together in midnoon, they might be the same bird as the exif show both on my photo #2 and #3 are almost the same time. but they keep jumping in/out disappear and appear so really can't 100% sure about this.  But what my feeling is there are two Paradise Flycather at least both in the morning and midnoon.

The light probably also explains the mantle colour.   I believe two Asian Paradise Flycatchers were reported near Hide 2 at Mai Po on 20th August, so perhaps there are two birds involved in the photos.   dave Logged 深藍 Owen BBS Administrator LOVE KINGFISHER~!     Gender: Posts: 1358 Re: Asian Paradise-Flycatcher 壽帶鳥 « Reply #6 on: Sep 5th, 2006, 4:14pm » Quote Modify Tai Po Kau 05/09/2006 Canon 20D   Logged ___________________ http://www.i-owen.com 香港昆蟲網 http://hkinsect.net/forum Michael_Leven BBS Member BBS Junior Member     Posts: 28 Re: Asian Paradise-Flycatcher 壽帶鳥 « Reply #7 on: Sep 6th, 2006, 8:30am » Quote Modify Not sure about the first two but I think that the rest of these are Japanese Paradise Flycatcher. Note the maroon tones to the mantle, coverts, primaries and tail contrasting with the more rufous secondaries, tertials and rump. I think that this two-toned appearance is right for Japanese at this time of year and wrong for Asian.     Given lack of eye ring and dull bill colour this is a young bird (not sure if it is technically a juvenile or a first winter as I'm not sure of the moult stategy).   Mike Leven Logged David_Diskin BBS Member BBS Senior Member I love bird watching!     Posts: 89 Re: Asian Paradise Flycatcher 壽帶鳥 « Reply #8 on: Oct 4th, 2006, 3:08pm » Quote Modify Having looked at all the photographs of the Paradise Flycatchers that have recently been posted, I now agree with Mike Leven that these are Japanese.   In fact, I think that nearly all of the photographs posted in the last month - most of them labelled Asian - are in fact Japanese.   Most of these photos of paradise flycatchers seen from behind show the contrast mentioned by Mike above - darkish, sometimes maroon-toned mantle and tail (although the tail can be variable, sometimes being less dark on some birds) contrasting with paler tertials, secondaries & primaries.     The only photos of a definite Asian Paradise Flycatcher as far as I can tell were posted by Kittykoo on September 22nd. It is worth comparing kittykoo's photos with the others to sort out the differences.   David           David « Last Edit: Oct 4th, 2006, 3:27pm by David_Diskin » Logged Pages: 1  Reply Send Topic Print Forum Jump: ----------------------------- Announcement 簡訊通告 -----------------------------  - Membership Affair 會員事務   - Outings / Activities 戶外活動 / 講座   - Projects 項目計劃   - Crested Bulbul Club 紅耳鵯俱樂部 ----------------------------- Discussion Area 討論區 -----------------------------  - General 一般問題   - Conservation 自然保育   - Bird Identification 鳥類辨識   - Birding Reports & Tips 觀鳥報告及心得 => Photo Gallery 相片分享 I   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 II ----------------------------- Special Topics 特別主題 -----------------------------  - Wild Birds & Avian Flu 野鳥與禽流感   - Sustainable Management Scheme in Long Valley 塱原可持續生態管理計劃   - Black-faced Spoonbill 黑臉琵鷺   - Goodbye Penfold 告別彭福   - Tern Conservation 燕鷗保育   - Black-eared Kite 鳶(麻鷹)   - Swifts and Swallows 燕與雨燕   - China Birdwatching Network 中國觀鳥活動網絡   - Winter Altas Survey 冬季鳥類普查   - Nature Conservation Policy 自然保育政策 ----------------------------- Knowledge Sharing 知識分享 -----------------------------  - FAQ 常見問題   - Archive 資料重溫 « Previous topic | Next topic »
