Blue flycatcher I was actually out taking photos of the primates today when I spotted this little blue bird. I spent over an hour trying to get a decent shot of this super fast little bird and when I looked round, the elusive gibbon I had been trying to find was sat right next to me wondering why she wasn't getting all the attention!
