Ratel's photos #277 Forest Birds-217

The European pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca)

This lover of mixed and deciduous forests are very like to travel and explore new places of residence. They migrate to Africa for the winter, but as I said earlier, they love to travel and can be found in the warm countries of South Asia.

In the photo you see a female. It is painted more pale than the male. In addition, the males can see two white spots above the beak.
The bird belongs to the "air insectivorous," that is, it catches prey on the fly. Of course, their hunting is not limited to air, she also catches insects on tree trunks, branches. The prey is a variety of flies, spiders, small caterpillars, ladybugs.
