The Eyebrowed Jungle-Flycatcher: The Ambitious Video Attempt

I agree 100% if you say I'm madly in love with the Eyebrowed Jungle-Flycatcher. Last Sunday (August,30) I got "the look" from my wife when I told her I wanted to go search for the flycatcher at the Kinabalu National Park.

I got both-the "green light" and the "green look" from her...

I promised I would be back early, which I did. I left home in a hurry too coz I could not dare to stay longer. She kinda posses the power to make me change my mind! (hehehe)...

At the park, The action started exactly at the spot and time I suspected the flycatcher would appear. Switching between cameras, I managed to record this;- (Not the best of quality, but taken handheld and only my third video recording attempt, I have to say it's not too bad!). Enjoy:-





P/s: Please take note the sound in the background is thesound of the Mountain Leafbird, dying for my attention! ;)

Eyebrowed Jungle-Flycatcher (Rhinomyias Gularis): At Last?

I'm still not over the Eyebrowed Jungle-Flycatcher I guess. I was very determined to capture the true colors of the beautiful flycatcher which I failed on my previous attempts.

Easier said than done, simply because they spend most of their time low in the dark undergrowth.

The reddish brown of the flycatcher, more often than not will appear as plain dark brown in photos thanks to their behavior. I have to remind tho, getting their photo is one thing, finding them is another thing!

Every chance has to be treated with utmost care. An opportunity doesn't come often... I bag these, enjoy;-

At Last?...I don't think so...not yet.
