(delhibirdpix) Asian Paradise-flycatcher (Sub-adult male)

Hi Guys,

Image Details
Species  :- Asian Paradise-flycatcher (Terpsiphone paradisi)
Date  :-  Feb, 2010
Location  :-  Sinhagad Valley, Pune
Equipment :-  Canon 40D + Sigma 70-300mm APO DG Macro (Non-IS)

Notes :- This is a sub-adult male moulting into adult plumage.
Over the last 2-3 years, there has been a drastic decline in their numbers in all their usual locations(in Pune). 
I used to see these in our school and gardens too as a kid. Now-a-days, there are very few places where we find them. 
Really miss this beauty.


-Regards,
Rohan
