A Small passerine bird found across small ranges in the country and across much of South East Asia. The bird is around 15 cms long, and found in lush forests where it hunts in the middle canopy. This is an elusive bird and since its prefers hunting in canopy, is a tough shot in my view.
The bird is a quick agile flyer and I had seen it a few times before from long distance just enough to get a record shot. But this time, under dense canopy and hiding behind bushes, we got a chance to observe it in action. The Flycatcher Shrike tends to join other species (mixed flock groups) in hunting insects. It darts off, catches, consumes and darts off in quick succession. The area we found it had a variety of bird species - around 7-8 interesting ones, and this is the only bird we got a shot of. We did sight around 4-5 of them, though they hunted alone. The others in the area included Grey-Headed Canary Flycatchers, Large Woodshrikes, Fulvettas, Yellow Tits, Common Woodshrikes, Paradise Flycatchers, Nuthatches and Malabar Trogons.
Many thanks in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
I've had two rolls of Adox CMS 20 II sitting on the darkroom shelf, staring at me, for two plus years now, waiting for me to act. I have hesitated, since access to the Adotech developer Adox has made specifically for this film is often difficult, and it does need a special, low contrast developer to get "continuous tone" out of it.
But yesterday I decided to do some research and I found a couple recipes for copy films in Anchell & Troop's Darkroom Cookbook and gave two a try: TDLC-103* and a modified PMK dilution. This image is from one of the TDLC-103 negatives.
The PMK negs were usable as well, but created less highlight separation than the TDLC-103, so in the future, I will just use the TDLC-103.
Photographed with my Kodak Signet 35, which has a f3.5 Ektar lens (A Tessar formula), and the aperture used here was likely f11 or f16. Talk about sharp - click on the image to see the detail. Remember - this is a 35mm negative! (from a camera made in 1954: flic.kr/p/2mXJWBf)
* basically, TDLC-103 is a very dilute D-23 with Sodium bicarbonate.
This is a diminute (2 grams, 5 cms) near to endemic bird you can find only in Costa Rica intermontane valleys and westernmost Panama mid elevation lands.
A few times I've spotted it in my garden, it is a quite common hummingbird species but its size and behavior will make you think it is a bee. It is the smallest bird in Costa Rica, and perhaps the second smaller in the world, after the cuban bee hummingbird.
Closely allied with Allen's (S. sasin) and Rufous (S. rufus) hummingbirds of North America, it is sympatric to Volcano hummingbirds (barely bigger by tenths of a gram), both bird species are commonly confused, especially when talking of females. You need to bird around a couple of years on a row to state differences with authority, at naked eye =) .
They are well known to visit Lantana, Stachytarpheta and Penta. Sometimes it can visit feeders but rather in a shy way.
