Is it the same bird? Could it be possible? After all, it's less than a year since I last sighted one here (post of 20 March 2021).
Do Green-backed Flycatchers (Fecidula elisae) go where others have gone before? Do they have a penchant for almost, exactly, similar haunt?
I have a strong feeling that I would find a Green-backed Flycatcher in the same place that I saw it the last season, and indeed it turned out to be the exact same place, even on the same tree (!) I spotted one before these birds are known to fly home for spring.
It was rather skittish when I first spotted it so I left it alone and came by again half an hour later, almost certain it would still be there, and it was.
It seemed not to be as active as the other flycatchers going for its catch, merely actively scanning about and eventually headed further in.
When I saw this one shortly after in a bird wave, I did wonder if it's the same bird.
And further on down the hill I came upon this female.
