Asian Paradise-Flycatchers are among the loveliest birds in this part of the world. Imagine a pair building its nest right outside my office window.

It gets even better - a fig tree in an ancient graveyard slap-bang in the middle of Kashmir's busiest hospital.

This picture was taken a couple of days ago and the nest-building has progressed quite a lot since then. Dont want to disturb the birds though.

Wow, what a gorgeous bird! Lucky you to have it so close every day. :t:

You might consider uploading a shot of the male and female into our Gallery and Bird Database. They'd be a fantastic addition!

Thanks for sharing!

Hi Katy,

I tried uploading images to the database earlier when I joined BirdForum without much success.
However you are welcome to upload the images of the male and female flycatchers on my behalf.

Unfortunately, despite your kind permission for us to upload for you, the photographer must do it as links are automatically associated between the images and the "uploader." Which means you wouldn't get contacted when comments or inquiries are made on that image. Additionally, no one other than the photographer knows all the details of how and where the photos were taken, which are requested in a form when each image is submitted.

May I ask what problems you had with uploading? If you'd like, pelase PM me and I'll be happy to help sort that out. Having the male and female in the database would be wonderful.

I have no idea how to get the images on to the database. There are three sticky messages by Andy but since hes much brighter ;-) than I am, I cant figure out the 3images/24 hours rule or whether only the admins are supposed to upload missing images from the galleries to the database or whatever. There is no image of a female Asian Paradise-Flycatcher in the database BTW.

Hi, CyberDoc! Don't worry, once images are uploaded to the Gallery, our database gurus will link them to the database.

We provided the additional Database forum so that people could upload more than 3 images in 24 hours if they had species that weren't already in the database. It's just the Gallery that has the 3-per-24 hours limitation.
