Yellow-rumped Flycatcher

Passeriformes - Muscicapidae - Ficedula zanthopygia (Sambar Pinggul Kuning)

Gaudy male striking, with yolk-yellow underparts and rump and black upperparts set off by white supercilium and wing patch. Female less brightly colored but still distinctive, with brown upperparts, a smaller yellow rump and white wing patch, and whitish underparts with faint scaling on the breast. Breeds in broadleaf and mixed forests, especially groves in riparian areas. Can be encountered in a wide range of wooded areas outside of the breeding season, from coastal scrub to pristine hill forests. Song is a short, thrush-like series of burry whistles.

Focused to catch whilst still wary.

 *An exercise in placidity - know when to stop

Don't linger

 

Don't linger down there, the view is better from here up.

On the move

Juvenile

Bird moment:

On the move

The heart leads

The mind leads

Home, where both meet.

Bursts of intent

Bird tale:
Bursts of intent,
Shots of energy,
Colours overflow.

Upfront
Open
Heart is unblocked.

And serenity
sets in.

"But happiness is ....:

Bird moment:

Happiness is here

or left there,

decide.

But happiness is being able to hope, however faintly, for happiness. So, at least, we must believe if we are to live in the world of today.
