Grey-headed Flycatcher Birds of Mount Abu JANUARY 2019 mountabubirds.blogspot.com

Grey-headed Flycatcher Culicicapa ceylonensis


28 January 2019.

Flycatchers, flycatchers have come to the Abode.
With their constant sallies from branch to branch,
Most are winter visitors from far-off lands,
Their beautiful colours of sets with their sweet tweets
Are an exceptional treat for photographers and painters.

Grey-headed Flycatcher Culicicapa ceylonensis


The Grey-headed Canary Flycatcher, with its Ashy head.
The light grey throat, enhanced by its bright yellow plumage,
It's yellow-green back, with yellow in browner  wings and tail
Is a solitary hunter, feeding of aerial insects with its incessant sallies.
