A Verditer Flycatcher foraging on the hillside
A very colorful flycatcher named after its distinctive color - copper-Sulphate blue. Both the sexes are of similar color, but the female has a quite washed out /faded color while the male is colorful like above. They are upper canopy birds and could be heard in some of the places often. There were several of them and we had a wonderful time watching them play and forage on the upper canopy.
These are migratory birds from Southern China / South East Asia / Himalayan forests to South India. They come in good numbers and are quite a favorite of photographers due to their distinctive color.
We sighted 2 males and females and they were quite active on the lush slope on the hillside. It was quite difficult to shoot in the thick canopy or bush, but luckily for us, this one came up and perched on this for about 30 seconds giving this shot.
Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
