Goa 2004: Flycatchers Swallows small Passerines

Flycatchers, Swallows and Small Passerines

Red-breasted Flycatcher A female at Tambli Surla may have been a Red-throated Flycatcher but there was no doubt about this male seen well in Backwoods Camp. Photo - MCC
Asian Paradise Flycatcher This rather amazing species was seen in the Backwoods area and also at Saligao Zor. The male is pictured. Photo - DMF
Nilgiri Flycatcher A single bird was seen near Backwoods. This species was well north of its normal range and this record shot is to prove it was actually there! Photo - JER
Asian Brown Flycatcher The only one seen on our trip was in Backwoods. Photo - JER
	Wire-tailed Swallow Birds were common at Baga Fields but this bird was digiscoped at a bridge near Backwoods. While many birds do not show the "wire" tail, this bird is a spendid example. Photo - JER
Golden-fronted Leafbird Birds were quite common in the Backwoods area while two were seen in Apora Forest. Photo - JER
Small Minivet Flocks of this spectacular bird were quite common in the forest around Backwoods and were usually high up in the canopy. A single bird was seen in Apora Forest. Photo - JER
Black-throated Munia Two birds of this rather scarce Munia were seen near Backwoods. Photo - JER
Plain Prinia This was the commonest warbler. This bird was digiscoped from a bridge near Tikanem. Photo - JER
