Went to Bride's Pool for a night safari for herps but decided to look for some birds near dusk.
Quiet at the Picnic Area but suddenly a
Eurasian Hobby appeared above, circulated a few rounds and continued flying towards south.
I presume it is on the way of its migration and just passed the area.
A sleepy bird caught our eyes when were searching for snakes use torch light, at first glance i was thinking "another tailorbird sleeping?" but the large size and brownish back changed my thought. We managed to observe it with tourh night at two different angles before it flew inside the forest, decided that it was a
Brown-chested jungle flycatcher - fat overall struture, pale pink legs, big eyes and narrow eye-ring. Managed to get a photo using torch light and comments welcome.
