India has a stunning variety of unique avian life. Wildlife SOS photographer Akash Dolas usually brings us breathtaking leopard rescue images, but he also sees the huge biodiversity of the Western Ghat mountains of Maharashtra near our Leopard Rescue Centre. Akash photographed the moment this paradise flycatcher took flight, with an intense stare and a whip of its exquisite tail feathers.

August 18, 2023 - Rufous Paradise-Flycatcher or Cinnamon Paradise Flycatcher (Terpsiphone cinnamomea) Found in the Philippines and parts of northern Indonesia, these monarchs live in lowland and foothill forests. Foraging alone, in pairs, or in mixed-species flocks, they feed on insects, capturing their prey in short flights. They build neat cup-shaped nests in forked branches from materials including plant fibers, moss, and probably spiderwebs and lichen.

India is host to nearly 1,300 different bird species, including the iconic peafowl, India's national bird. Many of these birds are migratory guests from 29 countries and fly to India every year. This threatened paradise flycatcher was spotted near our Manikdoh Leopard Rescue Centre in Junnar.

This photo was taken by staff photographer Akash.
