Dove guardare

Consigli sul campo

1. Listen for the song. The male's song is a key indicator of its presence, especially during the breeding season (May-July). Learn to distinguish it from the similar Pied Flycatcher song.
2. Look for movement. Collared Flycatchers are active insectivores. Watch for their characteristic 'sallying' behavior from a perch to catch flying insects.
3. Check tree cavities and nest boxes. During the breeding season, they are often found near their nesting sites. If you see nest boxes in suitable habitat, keep an eye on them.
4. Visit during migration. During spring (April-May) and autumn (August-September) migration, they can be seen in a wider variety of habitats, including coastal areas and gardens, as they pass through.

Migrazione

Long-distance migratory species. Breeds in Europe and migrates south to winter in sub-Saharan Africa, typically arriving in breeding grounds in April-May and departing in August-September.
