White-eye at its nest!

White-eye (Zesterops palpebrosa) at its nest!

"The white-eyes are small passerine birds native to tropical, subtropical and temperate Sub-Saharan Africa, southern and eastern Asia, and Australasia. White-eyes inhabit most tropical islands in the Indian Ocean, the western Pacific Ocean, and the Gulf of Guinea. Discounting some widespread members of the genus Zosterops, most species are endemic to single islands or archipelagos. The Silvereye, Zosterops lateralis, naturally colonised New Zealand, where it is known as the "Wax-eye" or Tauhau ("stranger"), from 1855. The Silvereye has also been introduced to the Society Islands in French Polynesia, while the Japanese White-eye has been introduced to Hawaii."

An intimate look at the rather distinct identify of the Shivaliks as a mountain range in their own right. This documentary centers around the breeding of the beautiful Paradise Flycatcher (Terpsiphone paradisi), perhaps the most beautiful bird to be found in India. Filmed in a variety of situations in the forest and at the nest, we have used a new technique of remotely-operated cameras to ensure that the birds were not disturbed at the nest. One such cigar-shaped Flycam camera was located 22 feet up in a tree, on a set of boom poles, and operated from an even greater distance. This film has some first-time and rare footage. Shot over four months in the summer months.
