Rare Amur close-up

There are very rare or high moments in birding when a bird pop up right before you, and on this occasion the Amur Paradise Flycatcher came so close to me that I had to take a step back to enframe it.
When it first appeared all I wanted was for it to remain and emerge fully long enough for ideal images, instead I was shockingly presented with extremely close range, which is totally uncharacteristic of this bird to fly so low.

An extremely unique moment when this skittish bird perched and was almost only an arm's length away.  It's heart-thumping moment like this when one held one's breath and hoped that one can still go on clicking with a steady hand.
