" This bird occurs abundantly in Lower Bengal, upon the sandy 
soil above the tideway of the Hoogly, frequenting baubul topes and 
scattered trees near villages, as well as hedges and low bush-jungle ; 
I have also observed it in the jungles north and west of Midnapore.'* 
-(Blyth.) 
" It is a lively and active bird, hopping about the branches, and 
capturing various small insects, occasionally on the wing, but 
generally on the branches or leaves. It has a rather harsh chuckling 
note, which it incessantly utters on being approached, and endeavours 
to hide itself, creeping to the farther side of the tree." — (Jerdon.)

" Common in swampy places wherever there is jungle, and diffused 
generally over India ; I also found this bird abundant in a mango 
tope near Hooghly, where there was no marshy ground in the im- 
mediate vicinity." — (Blyth.) 
" In Southern India, I obtained a specimen in a wooded valley 
along the edge of the northern range of Ghauts. It appeared active 
and lively in its habits, occasionally flying from some reeds and 
perching on a stone in a brook, and from thence making short sallies 
after insects in the air, or seizing one on the sand of the rivulet." —
