Description
The large blue flycatcher (Cyornis magnirostris) is a species of bird in the family Muscicapidae. It is found in the eastern Himalayas, from Nepal to Bangladesh. It winters to the northern Malay peninsula.
Feeding Habits
Large Blue Flycatcher primarily consumes small invertebrates. They forage alone or in pairs, often in forest understory, catching prey by darting from perches and remaining inconspicuous while waiting for food.
Habitat
The large Blue Flycatcher is commonly found in hill evergreen forests and moist broadleaf forests, both primary and secondary. It occupies areas with more open forest structures and occasionally frequents parks and gardens during migration. Its habitat preference encompasses subtropical regions characterized by dense vegetation, which offers ample food resources and shelter, often within forested landscapes rich in biodiversity.
