Birds of Infinity Corbett Wilderness | 7

Asian Paradise Flycatcher, Terpsiphone paradisi leucogaster, female

The white morphs of the males are found in the Corbett landscape (race leucogaster, Ali-Ripley). They are summer visitors to Infinity Corbett Wilderness and you will see them flitting about with the long white tail-streamers fluttering behind them.

They tend to be quite noisy and their repetitive whitiu-whitiu-tu whitiu-whitiu-tu is often heard near our elephant stable.

Birds of Infinity Corbett Wilderness | 6

House Sparrow Passer domesticus

A 'common' bird now increasingly uncommon. Once seen in great numbers, the humble House Sparrow has fallen victim to changing cropping patterns and changing styles of construction. We do see a few at Infinity Corbett Wilderness where they nest under the eaves.

Do your bit and set up a few feeders and nest boxes for sparrows, you can order them here:
