The Mugimakis

 It's double happiness as the female Mugimaki Flycatcher (Ficedula mugimaki) made its appearance shortly after the prized paradise flycatcher did.

And I thought that's it even though it did not provide ideal poses, and then the male appeared too to seal the fortuitous moment, couldn't have asked for more (although I did, wishing the male would afford better images, so much for always after the next best shot!!)

These birds are found from eastern Siberia, Russia Far East and Sakhalin, to northeastern China including Mongolia and would regularly spend their winter in this country at mainly sub-montane areas.

I was more than happy when the male flew in suddenly, and started to flap slightly as if agitated.

And that was the lowest it came down which was a pity because to get its side profile would be lovely to show off the vibrant orange throat and breast against the stunning black upper-parts, and white belly, supercilium plus wing patches.

But to my delight the female made another show, down to almost eye-level and would have stayed if not for the sudden appearance of a park worker on motorbike.
