Bird for the Day - Scarlet Minivet

The Scarlet Minivet: Minivets are smallish birds - a little smaller than a sparrow. This one is called the scarlet minivet. To the eye the colours seem to be closer to black and vermillion than scarlet itself... when it flutters to settle down on a twig or rises up, it presents the most enchanting picture. It's not easy to see, as perhaps it is shier than many other birds, but a beautiful spectacle, to be seen amidst a lot of greenery...
