Indian Paradise Flycatcher - Poetry in Motion

Google India's most beautiful birds, and the Indian paradise flycatcher will come up. It looks like poetry in motion with its long tail gracefully dancing through the air as it flies around. India 2025, we were fortunate enough to have a spotted several of these and snap some amazing photographs. They were flying along a creek that attracted a buffet of insects for the flycatchers to eat. 

As my guests was photographing the flycatchers, something caught my eye moving in the background, it was a tiger, a big tiger - a 600 lb tiger...We safely repositioned to a spot beside our bus as the tiger emerged from the forest and stepped onto the road in front of us. 

Not a sound was made by the tiger or our group. He paused, revealing battle scars from encounters with other male tigers, glanced at us briefly, then crossed the road and vanished into the dense forest.
