And so they're coming, again! And eagerly awaited too!
My very first sighting of an early arrival, and unusual at this time of the year when normally avian migrants here would be spotted only from late August onwards.
As usual sighting a migrant visitor is always thrilling especially a Brown-streaked Flycatcher (Muscicapa williamsoni) although not uncommon but is not so easily sighted anywhere.
Its distinct streaks and sallying behaviour set me excited immediately when I first spotted it, also recalled my very first sighting of this bird in the taman in September in 2017. However unlike the 2017 sighting where that one sallied and perched at less than 3m/10ft up high, this present one kept to the upper canopy the entire duration I was observing it.
And I don't expect this one to stay long here similar to previous visitors that merely transited a few days here.
