Spotted Flycatcher

The Spotted Flycatcher  Muscicapa striata

Juvenile

They usually perch on look-out on jutting branch with upright posture, and often flick wings,

then launch  out in short sally and snatch some small flying insect.

The Spotted Flycatcher is a specialist at taking airborn insects. .

There is a plum tree outside my studio, where many birds perch, and I can photograph them through the window. Yesterday I saw an adult and a juvenile Spotted Flycatcher. Their plumage is plain brownish-grey with streaking on the breast and forehead, and they have a distintive long tail. Both sexes are alike.
