A busy Brown Breasted Flycatcher active in the forest!
A really small diminutive bird just around 12-14 cms long. It is quite a silent bird and easy to miss and track. The birds are long migrants from South East Asia and Southern china to South India during winters. They are flycatchers and often seen in the underbush and near wet areas hunting flies around woody areas. But I suspect there is a population of them resident in the country in some the richer forests far away from the cities.
During the last two trips we sighted several of them and some of them were quite unmindful of humans. This one was shot in a lovely forest where bird come down to the pools to drink water. This flycatcher was waiting near one pool for the flies to be disturbed before it can make a catch.
Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
