The Sydney Opera House. Vivid back soon, I hope. Great time of the year to photograph some of Sydney's landmarks.

Taipei Botanical Garden (台北植物園), Taipei, Taiwan

During a short visit to Taiwan, I was pleasantly surprised to see this lone male at Taipei Botanical Garden. This species is rarely seen at sea level. Its natural habitat is at higher altitudes. As can be imagined, its sighting attracted hundreds of birders to the Garden. It also invoked territorial aggression from another lone male of a different species, White-rumped Shama, also rarely seen and shown in the previous picture. With both birds liking the same tree, the Vivid Niltava was often chased away by the White-rumped Shama and only returned to feed when the latter was elsewhere.

Taipei Botanical Garden (台北植物園), Taipei, Taiwan

This is the same lone male shown two pictures ago, ths time with his back facing the camera. This bird is of a sub-species, Niltava vivida, that is endemic to Taiwan.
