Asian Paradise Flycatcher, Avissawella, Sri Lanka.

Male and female Asian Paradise Flycatchers (Terpsiphone paradisi). Photos taken in our garden at Avissawella, Sri Lanka. They come to pick termites from an earth embankment. I also took a rather blurred video of the female yawning and stretching her limbs just like a human being. You can see this by clicking on the following web address:-
