Spotted Flycatcher

Spotted Flycatcher is passage migrant which spend few weeks in Western India in monsoon during their pathway to wintering in Africa. It’s bit strange to see this bird wintering in India, specially in the eastern part of the country. Probably this is the first record from West Bengal.

We found 8 birds were roosting amongst a large mixed flock of Curlew Sandpipers, Lesser/Greater Sand Plovers, Sanderlings and Dunlins. They were seen on the beach of Jambudwip (approx 8km south-west from Fraserganj coast in Bay of Bengal) during high tide.

Dust bathing (also called sand bathing) is an animal behavior characterized by rolling or moving around in dust, dry earth or sand, with the likely purpose of removing parasites from fur, feathers or skin. Dust bathing is a maintenance behavior performed by a wide range of mammalian and avian species.
