      This was an opportunistic encounter, was doing my photo walk more for macro, but also brought along my other camera as the location is known for birding. Then came across a Group of Birders who set up 'baiting', meaning they put out some food, usually some worms on the ground, and 'set-up' some nice branches for the bird to perch while taking a break in between grabbing a worm. This seems to be very common practise unfortunately, especially when an 'Instructor' is taking out his students/groups. Posted 3 years ago

        There's definitely ethical questions to ask regarding luring birds, same goes for using audio playback. Posted 3 years ago

The Green-backed flycatcher

The green-backed flycatcher is a bird in the family Muscicapidae, which contains the Old World flycatchers. It was long considered to a subspecies of the narcissus flycatcher, but morphological and acoustical differences between the two indicate they are instead separate species. It breeds in northeastern China and winters in southeast Asia.
