A Very Tiny Green(Ish) Warbler in the canopy
I thought the Ultramarine Flycatcher which is a tad bigger than a man's thumb was small. And here it was, the Green Warbler even smaller than the Ultramarine. I am not 100% sure if it is Green or Greenish Warbler, both are distinct species. I think its a Green Warbler - the only difference between the two is that the Greenish has a much thicker pale white supercilium. And this one does not have that IMHO.
This is much smaller the Ultramarine Flycatcher, but is a similar type of bird, both in behavior and food. It sticks to the top canopy often in thick trees and prefers to catch flies for food. Sometimes it does come close to the ground, but by virtue of its tiny size and color, its very hard to sight. I was lucky to have sighted two of these birds which came out in the open since there were no people around at all today.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
