" This species is always found in the dense and lofty jungle. I 
have only seen it in the forests of the western coast, and have met 
with it at an elevation of 4,000 feet. It is generally found in small 
parties, stations itself near the top of some lofty tree, whence it 
makes frequent short sallies after insects, exactly like the flycatchers, 
and returns generally to the same branch. It sings most charm- 
ingly, being perhaps only surpassed by the G-ryllivora longicauda. 
Its food consists of various insects, both hard and soft-winged." — 
(Jerdon, Madr. Journ. L. S. X. p. 240.) 
Mr. Hodgson also remarks :* " Shy, adhering to the forests, feeds 
chiefly on the softer-winged insects, which it takes on the wiag 
exclusively, but not by continued questing ; has an autumnal moult 
between August and October, and I think but one per annum." —
