The Asian Brown Flycatcher (*Muscicapa dauurica*) is a common and widespread migratory flycatcher across Asia. It is a small, rather plain brown bird with paler underparts, often showing a faint streaking on the breast.
Where to spot
Breeds across a vast range from central Siberia to Japan. It migrates south to winter across much of South and Southeast Asia, including India, China, and Indonesia. Inhabits open woodlands, gardens, and parks.
How to spot
Look for its plain brown plumage and upright posture. Watch for its characteristic sallying flights from a low perch. Listen for its soft 'twick' calls, especially when foraging.
When to spot
Best observed during its breeding season (spring/summer) in its northern range, or during spring and autumn migration and winter (late autumn to early spring) in its southern range.

Despite its somewhat drab appearance, this species is a highly efficient aerial insectivore, darting from perches with remarkable agility to snatch flying insects.
