Nice catch, Godo!! Love the open perch, this bird seldom perch in the open and you got it where the light was just perfect for an ISO 1600, just beautiful!

I like this Black-Naped Monarch. The face looks very friendly. The blue color is so beautiful and you got it perfectly. This bird is often in the dark and moves quite a lot. Very nice capture. Well done Godo. Mabuhay.

Great capture of this blue guy Godo. Interesting bend at the end of the beak. You can really see it well in this picture. I never noticed that detail before. Cool. You learn something all the time.
I am no expert so I always get confused with the ID of the Black-naped Monarch and the Blue Paradise-Flycatcher.

Thank you Neon, Ely and Tonji.
I was in a hide when i got this bird. I was hiding in secondary forest understory near the river, aiming for the Palawan Blue Flycatcher and suddenly BNM came out where lighting is good.
Tonji the Blue Paradise Fly is quite bigger than the BNM and they have no black patch in the crown or head.
Salamat!

Godo, thanks for that info. I knew about the black patch on the top of the head but not about the size of the bird. Cool, nice to know.
Sylvia also got a pic of the Palawan Blue Flycatcher near the dam. It was beside the road and by the river.
