Malaysian Birds

90 PASSERIFORMES: Muscicapidae

Flycatchers

These are small birds with flatten bills. They may be in blue, brown or grey in colors. World wide there 116 species and of which 42 can be spotted in South-East Countries. From the list below, 33 species was reported seen in Malaysia. This is one kind of birds that makes bird watching interesting. They are small and most of them on the list are either migrants or passage migrants. It is an annual wait for the period of time each years when the birds are southbound and returning north. Some return to the same locality while others are waiting to be spotted. For such a large number of birds, I made my personal selection in grouping them into 3 pages to keep the number of birds small as well seeking some similarity for easy references.
