Another sultry day here, but there was sufficient clarity to attempt some photography this morning. And so I went onto the roof of the recreation area to try to capture the Asian Paradise Flycatcher (Terpsiphone paradisi) and the Eurasian Golden Oriole (Oriolus oriolus). Both were tantalizingly close but no decent shots were had. The Orioles stayed well-hidden or shrouded behind foliage and teased me with their wee-ows. I wee-ow-ed a fair bit myself, to no avail. In the evening, I had clear views of the orioles, but high up in a dry teak tree. The flycatchers, we get the white morph here, were around in abundance, and sadly when one first sees them one wonders if it is a bit of garbage, plastic or paper, that's been caught in the bush; such is the prevalence of garbage in the area.
