Hearing distinctive flycatcher calls from the neighbouring park at
around 8.30 this morning, I went out with my bins and got some lovely
views of a resplendent male Satin Flycatcher, glistening blue-black in
the sunshine. Rushed back inside to get my camera and returned to find
that its place had been taken by a female flycatcher (orange throat).
Unless there's evidence to suggest that male Satin Flycatchers travel in
company with female Leaden Flycatchers, I'm going to assume that this
was a Satin Flycatcher pair travelling through. Last seen heading West.
