Hi Peter,
this bird is wonderful, you show us so pretty birds from Ethiopie I've never seen before.
Have you visited this country for human help or just for travelling? I would never have the idea to be there for holidays ...
But I don't know much about this country - only that there are living so many poor people.
So thanks for sharing this part of nature with us, bye

Ciao Peter,
bellissima immagine di pigliamosche abissino, eccellenti POV e composizione con la classica postura su posatoio di questo cacciatore d'insetti, straordinaria la definizione ed impressionante il dettaglio dell'occhio con il doppio colore, molto belli i colori e l'ambientazione.
TFS.

Hi Peter,

He may have rather drab colors but he is a very beautiful bird. The face and expression reminds me of our Say's Phoebe who does have pretty colors. Excellent details and shadings, a lovely eye, and a wonderful pose. I love the composition - he seems to be staring at the stump of the branch.

The bird may not be well coloured BUT the image is and the surroundings as in environment are well coloured which make it an overall image instead of a focused one..you are quite the master of your gear1

Hello Peter,
A fine capture of an Abyssinian Slaty Flycatcher that you took from a fine POV with good sharpness that makes it stand out from the OOF tree trunk behind it. The composition and eye contact are great.
Congratulations on yet another new species for TN and for a fine capture of it.
Best wishes,
Ivan

Hi Peter.
Very cute bird despite its colouration is not the brightest. Especially I like impressive bird's eye. And very attractive pose. However, impressiveness of the tree branches also is amazing as well as whole scene. DOF is superb. Main subject is crsip sharp and BG is blurred greatly. I also like impressive 3D-feature of the shot. Well done and TFS.

Hallo Peter,

terwijl ik Hollandse koude platen vertoon breng jij tropische verrassingen!
Weer een mooie soort voor je lijstje en moet toch ook maar eens op safari maar vind in Nederland nog zulke mooie plekken.
Mooi gezichtsveld op deze vogel.

Hallo Peter,
Deze grijze vogel ken ik niet. Grijs dan niet pejoratief bedoeld want het is een mooie vogel.
Mooi oogje met dat specifiek geel.
Groeten,
Annick

Hallo Peter
I saw this image of the Abyssinian Slaty-Flycatcher yesterday but time was not on my side and I had to let it pass. Now I am back, to give my comment. This might be a common, colourless bird but to me it has the most magnetic eyes. It is almost if one can look right through it. You have captured this one in a lovely surrounding on the tree with its new green leaves. These young loots give lots of charisma to this image and I like the view of it. A lovely image with lots of charm, presented in a most pleasant manner. Great composition and viewpoint.
Best regards
Anna

Thanks for this first and original post of a rarely seen bird, Peter. Such contributions add great value to our site.
The bird has a distinct appearance -- especially that yellow eye.

Hi Peter,

I like the way the image is composed with shoots and stubs surrounding this bird. Not colorful but you have made her sitting proud on that branch. Tact sharp focus and congratulations on being the first.

Best regards,
