Description

The Target bird that led me to drive over 2 hours to a hotspot! After couple of sightings by other birders, I was determined to get a sighting, so planned to go at the right time just for this bird and we got lucky - sighted both male and female! The male is quite colorful and easily mistaken for a Tickell's Blue flycatcher - which looks almost similar except for the blue throat in this bird while a Tickell's has orange throat. My colleague mistook it for Tickell's while I literally jumped with joy seeing this bird.

The bird is a migrant from Northern India, Pakistan / Himalayan ranges and migrates to South India during winters. The birds stick to thick canopy areas and dense undergrowth, but are closer to the ground near wet areas. Both were sighted close to a foot wide stream of water that was spilling over the forest floor resulting in lot of flies and insects which was attracting these birds.

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
