Drongos ( Greater Racket-tail Drongo) are the multitalents of the rainforest; skilful acrobats, great singers and imitators - always ready to "show off" to their audience. I was more than happy to "have a ticket" to their magnificent show in the rainforest...bravo, bravo!
"Small, but only in size..."
Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher is a brilliant-colored, tiny (14 cm) but fierce Kingfisher. The other day I got lucky to catch a photo of this very focused Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher couple hunting for a crunchy meal near a stream in RDC.
One day in RDC, once again, while escaping the blazing sun under a tree, a couple of cheerful Chestnut-winged Babblers appeared in front of me. "After-lunch" resting and grooming each other, always amorous and caring...what a lovely couple!
"Just like a fire..."
Finally! I had dreamt to see this iridescent Scarlet Minivet for a while, nearly lost the hope, and then...one late-afternoon walk on the canopy level at RDC brought a sudden, brief opportunity to snap few photos of this brilliant bird. The male -as usual- brighter, orange- and black; the female, yellow-and-greyish...ah, both so beautiful!
What a lucky day!
Please, enjoy!
