Common Flycatcher
The Common Flycatcher (*Muscicapa striata*) is a small bird found across Europe and parts of Asia. It typically measures about 12-13 cm in length and has a distinctive grayish-brown plumage with a lighter underbelly. This bird is known for its insect-catching abilities, often seen perched on branches, waiting to catch flying insects in mid-air.
During the breeding season, the Common Flycatcher builds its nest in tree cavities or dense shrubs. It usually lays 4-6 eggs, which hatch after about two weeks. This species migrates to Africa for the winter, showcasing its adaptability to different environments throughout the year.
