Blue-Capped Redstart









The Blue-capped Redstart is another beautiful creature resembling with the Grey Bushchat in size and habits, but its darker than the latter. its peculiar blue colour of the head gives it the





name Blue capped. I photographed the bird in Kullu this month. There is a very peculiar thing i have noticed about this bird that it is not at all shy and not affraid of humans as it allows you to move as close as 2 meters to it if you do not make sudden movements. it normally feeds on small insects and can notice them on the ground from very far which gives us an idea about how good the eyesight of the bird is. Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!
