  Paradise flycatcher  Tersiphone viridis  (D)

Kasanka National Park, Zambia, October 2004.  David J Slater

The flycatcher is an absolutely delightful bird but so difficult to photograph due to its active nature.  This bird is actually in flight as it weaves and wefts its way between branches after invisible insects.
