Flycatcher Seychelles Paradise (Terpsiphone corvina) male endemic – Seychelles

It was reported that there are less than 250 Seychelles Paradise Flycatchers in existence and hence they are critically endangered.  They only occur on two Seychelles islands and particularly in the forest reserve of La Digue.  The many tall forest trees create considerable shade thus photos were only taken available ambient light at high ISO6400 sensitivity (this produces excessive picture grain).   This picture is included (despite the blurred image) illustrating the length of the tail and graceful flight.
