Blyth's Paaradise Flycatcher

Its distinct harsh calls preceded its arrival, and the next thing I knew it had landed on the branch.

The keen eyes of the Blyth's Paradise Flycatcher must have already spied its caterpillar prey from afar.

St Andrew's Cross Spider

 

St Andrew's cross spider (Argiope versicolor), possibly with a prey* seen to hurriedly cart away on its back when I closed in for better shots.

* From AI Overview

A cross spider wraps its prey in a silken "cocoon" after it becomes entangled in the web, delivering a paralyzing bite and then swathing the victim in silk for later consumption. This process preserves the prey, which is eaten by the spider when it is ready to feed.
