Feeding Habits
Restless Flycatcher's diet primarily includes insects and other invertebrates like spiders and centipedes. Restless Flycatcher forages solo or in pairs, often hovering to pluck prey from foliage, seldom feeding on the ground. Restless Flycatcher typically hunts from mid-canopy.
Habitat
Restless Flycatcher typically inhabits open and wooded areas, including lowland eucalypt woodlands, riverine forests with river red gums, and coastal as well as inland scrublands. They are also found in semi-urban spaces like golf courses, orchards, parks, and gardens. While restless Flycatcher prefers environments near water sources, its range extends across various broad geographical regions featuring sparse bushlands and understories, and up to elevations of around 1220 meters.
Dite type
