My first sighting of the season, a record shot of a Brown-streaked Flycatcher (Muscicapa williamsoni), almost always the earliest arrival of migrant visitors each year. However it's only a transit one.
The earliest personal sighting in the taman was in 2017, and since then has been a regular visitor, teasing with its open perch in mid or upper canopy. Only in 2017 was it so far down that I could lob at it, perhaps it had newly arrived then, was still in a daze for it was pretty docile as I circled below it.
