Birds of Infinity Corbett Wilderness | 5




White-throated Fantail (Rhipidura albicollis), albicollis means 'white throat'

Ali-Ripley number (1454-9)

This is the subspecies R.a.canescens (Koelz), "distinguished from other members of the genus by its entire dark belly." (Ali-Ripley 1983)

They say that it prefers shady places of forests and wooded nullahs and "flits tirelessly" after its prey of insects. It breeds from March to August.

Here at Infinity Wilderness, the White-throated Fantail, an irritated looking bird, is found in the run-off or tiny rivulets and stagnant pools water by the River Kosi. These tend to have a lot of insects around the water and the banks have vegetation that shelters the bird. It swoops down after the insects and then returns to cover. It is a fast-moving bird and a nightmare to photograph.
