Tickell’s Blue Flycatcher

The Tickell’s Blue is an attractive medium-sized flycatcher with blue upperparts and orange-and-white underparts, with the most orange on the chest and the throat. Its smaller-billed profile, less extensive orange, and paler face distinguish this species from the male Hill-Blue Flycatcher. Extensive orange on the throat separates Tickell’s from Blue-throated Flycatcher. It favors open hill forests as well as forest edges, particularly in drier, scrubby areas, often close to water. Both sexes give a pleasant high-pitched tinkling song.

Jungle Nightjar

The jungle nightjar is a gray-brown nightjar of wooded, open grassy, and scrubby areas found in the Indian Subcontinent. Intricately patterned, with a golden patch behind the ear (often not visible on a resting bird) and pale tan spots on the wings it is found mainly on the edge of forests where it is seen or heard at dusk.
