	Kashmir Flycatcher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Kashmir Flycatcher, Ficedula subrubra, is a small passerine bird in the flycatcher family Muscicapidae.
		This is an insectivorous species which breeds in the north-west Himalayas in the Kashmir area of Pakistan and India.
		The Kashmir Flycatcher breeds in deciduous forest with dense undergrowth, nesting in a hole in a tree and laying 3-5 eggs which are incubated by the female.

	Species info - HTML
		This migratory flycatcher has a small, declining population and breeding range, which is also severely fragmented, as a result of the destruction of temperate, mixed deciduous forests.
		Distribution The Kashmir Flycatcher (see Remarks 1) has a very restricted distribution in northern India and a small portion of Pakistan, occurring as a summer breeding visitor to side valleys of Kashmir and in the Pir Panjal range (Bates and Lowther 1952, Henry 1955, Roberts 1991_1992).
		Threats The Kashmir Flycatcher is one of four threatened members of the suite of 11 bird species that are entirely restricted to the "Western Himalayas Endemic Bird Area", threats and conservation measures in which are profiled by Stattersfield et al.

		It is popular with birdwatchers at quieter times because of the good opportunities it gives to see Indian Blue Robin, Pied Thrush or Scaly Thrush lurking in the denser undergrowth.
		Kashmir Flycatcher is another attractive bird species found in the park.

		Mudumalai is open all year round and is less affected by the southwest monsoon as most of the sanctuary lies in the rain-shadow of the Nilgiris.
		Ooty is fantastic any time of the year, as the main species are resident, though migrants such as Kashmir Flycatcher and Tickell's Leaf Warbler are only present in winter.
		Top Slip (740 m), located on the edge of the Kairan Shola, is an outstanding patch of rainforest that harbours a good number of South Indian endemic birds such as the Sri Lankan Frogmouth, Wynaad Laughing Thrush and Black-throated Munia.

		From our first afternoon of watching a Chestnut-backed Owlet (the 'bird-of-the-trip' for this group) through to the last 'mopping-up' of birds like the scarce Kashmir Flycatcher, we basked in lovely weather and enjoyed a very productive and enjoyable break from the cold northern winter.
		Further explorations around Kitulgala brought bounties of the endemic Brown-capped Babbler, a feeding flock with a splendid white male Asian Paradise Flycatcher, White-bellied and the endemic ('Crested Drongo') form of Greater Racket-tailed Drongos, Southern Hill Myna, Black-hooded Orioles and a Lesser Yellownape.
		In the hotel garden we were treated to a rare view of a Besra that came and perched in full view, allowing scrutiny before it raced off.

		Best birds include: White-bellied Shortwing, Nilgiri Laughingthrush, Black-and-Orange Flycatcher, Forest Wagtail, and what was in retrospect probably Nilgiri Flycatcher (the white in the tail is not easy to see even in flight).
		There are about three small Shola patches where I saw the other birds which included 18+ Nigiri Laughingthrushes, several Black-and-Orange Flycatchers, 1 White-bellied Shortwing and one Nilgiri Flycatcher.
		The Nigiri Flycatcher was found at the end of the track.

		In wooded valleys two endemics occur, Dull-blue Flycatcher and the highly localised Ceylon White-eye, and areas of scrub and low trees have two more endemics, Ceylon Bush-warbler and Ceylon Woodpigeon.
		Hagala Botanical Gardens are close to Nurewa Eliya and we’ll visit this area for species such as the local race of Eurasian Blackbird and endemic Hill Mynas, and another chance at Ceylon Whistling Thrush.
		The Kandy botanical gardens hold Greater and Black-rumped Flamebacks, Rufous Woodpecker, Alexandrine and Layard's Parakeets, Asian Koel, Asian Brown and Asian Paradise Flycatchers and Indian Pitta.

	Birdwatching Trip Report from Sri Lanka
		The result was a shorter bird list than normal, but we saw essentially all the birds we expected to see.
		In addition to the not trying for the Serendip Scops-owl, we also missed seeing some migrants (Kashmir Flycatcher, Gray-bellied Cuckoo, Rosy Minivet) which had been common two weeks earlier.
		Therefore, it seems that early April is already too late to see some of the migrants in Sri Lanka. We had provided Baur's with our list of target birds, and our guide used the list to focus on these birds.

		I failed to see Kashmir Flycatcher which is said to winter in the area.
		The best birds were seen at the very top of the hill, in what appeared to be a private garden adjoining the garden boundary.
		In a small shola 12 km from Ooty, there was a superb male Nilgiri Flycatcher, Black Bulbul, Common Rosefinch and Blyth's Reed Warbler.

		Winter visitors were much in evidence, the warblers including Pallas’s Grasshopper, Blyth’s Reed, Green and Large-billed being somewhat eclipsed by Forest Wagtail, Rosy Starling, Kashmir Flycatcher, Indian Blue Robin and the stunning Pied Thrush; there were also large numbers of the lovely Indian Pitta, which seemed to be calling all over the island.
		We were lucky with the weather, clear night skies and a slight glow became apparent as we negotiated the final series of remarkably sharp hairpin bends.
		We drove onto the grasslands of the Horton Plains, walking a couple of kilometres along forest trails until this almost mystical bird is heard singing and soon most of the group have seen it before it ‘melts’ away into its wilderness forest.

		We saw 226 species including all the endemics, except the "new owl", and many other target species e.g SL Frogmouth, Kashmir Flycatcher and Indian Pitta although the absence of the Pied Thrush was something of a disappointment.
		The main attraction of this hill town is Victoria Park, a large urban park which is a winter stopover for Indian Pitta, Indian Blue Robin, Kashmir Flycatcher and Pied Thrush.
		Good views of Indian Pitta, Kashmir Flycatcher, Yellow-eared Bulbul and Blyth's Reed Warbler but no luck with Indian Blue Robin or Pied Thrush (which we were told had not yet arrived).

		The first morning was fine, however, and an early start in Victoria Gardens produced excellent views of male Pied Thrush and Kashmir Flycatcher.
		I picked up a pair of Dull Blue Flycatchers here, as well as a pair of Nilgiri Blackbirds eating fruit in a tree (they looked different to the European version, and were much more shy, but the quiet "chuck-chuck" call sounded familiar).
		I missed only one endemic I really wanted to see, which was the malkoha, but almost walking into a Brown Fish-owl, nonchalantly preening itself in the open, made up for this.
