Another point Arwen, I forgot to add. You wrote:
and it seems odd the females are more brightly coloured than the males.

A male Satin Flycatcher in good sunlight is stunning, the books can't show the iridescence to full effect.

The normal tail movement is a sort of rapid quivering up and down. Both Leaden and Satin do this. As you say, great birds to watch!

Cheers,

Carol
