Previously I posted about the Paradise-flycatcher (above) seen in my garden. A distinctive and unmistakable bird, the male has a blue-black head with a bright blue bill and eye-ring. The back and tail are chestnut and underparts are grey.
This bird also appears in a white phase (above) and this is the first time I've seen this variation. Females do not show this form
Isn't he stunningly beautiful?
I can't get over these glorious birds!

He is very beautiful for sure. Thanks for sharing ;-)
ReplyDeleteLovely Birds - I have quite a few pairs who nest in my garden - I've never seen them in the white phase though.
ReplyDeleteThese are stunningly beautiful birds, Jo, especially in their white phase! I love their long tails and blue eye rings...so unlike anything we see here.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you're having a wonderful week...:)

What an amazing bird. His tail is lovely. I wonder if it is related tp the Bird of Paradise from PNG
ReplyDeleteWow, that's gorgeous, and so unusual.
ReplyDeleteYou always find such lovely birds. This one is really special.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well in your world. Many hugs,
I love the long tailfeathers--stunning. Beautiful coloration, too, Jo! You have so many beautiful birds in Kenya!
ReplyDeleteOh, wow, these birds are just amazing, Jo! Great photos.
