Photographers recently captured images of Amur paradise flycatchers in central China's Henan Province. Flying in forests and over water, and splashing the water, the birds fluttered their beautiful long tails that looked like ribbons of fairies. In ancient China, Amur paradise flycatchers were featured in many designs as people believed they could bring good luck.
