Hi all
Migration time. Yay! I initially thought the first image was a Hill blue flycatcher, but the orange extended down the belly too far, and the blue / black back bugged me. Some bookwork has lead me to believe it is a Vivid Niltava (orange wedge extending up from neck to beak). can someone please confirm (or deny if you have to: LOL)
Good luck with the second. The photo is terrible. From the way it acted, its location (this area is always full of thrushes during the migration) and it's shape, I presume it is a thrush.
The third I presume is yet another Asian Brown Flycatcher, but I have never seen one of these with its tail up like this.
Thanks in advance!
