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.
