Finding and photographing the Small Niltava (Niltava macgrigoriae) on Doi Ang Khang in Northern Thailand is a pursuit defined by patience and reward. This tiny, shy flycatcher, a true "jewel of the hills", requiring one to slow down, blend into the montane forest, and await that fleeting moment when its brilliant blue plumage catches a stray beam of sunlight. The experience is one of quiet anticipation, culminating in the thrill of capturing the essence of this elusive bird.
