Above the blue, unruffled pools green flycatchers darted, and rollers spread metallic wings.
Among the birds, doves and flycatchers were most commonly seen, one species of the latter frequently dazzling our eyes with its brilliant vermilion plumage.
From the great-crested to the little green flycatcher, their ways and general habits are the same.
It is almost impossible for any insectivorous bird except a flycatcher to take a moth or a butterfly on the wing.
The reproductive strategies of collared flycatchers discussed earlier provide an illustration.
Because of this behaviour, the social flycatcher was the disperser more likely to deposit the seeds on the branches.
Social flycatchers are resident throughout the year at our study area.
