The grey-streaked flycatcher is believed to feed on insects, small invertebrates and berries. It breeds in North-East China, North Korea, Sakhalin and Kamchatka and winters in Borneo, the Philippines, Eastern Indonesia and New Guinea. According to budding and promising birder Desmond Yap’s account, this flycatcher was last seen in Singapore in 1991. He had the magic touch of luck birders dream of when he spotted it at 2.30 pm on 9 November 2021, at a private plant nursery in Sembawang, Singapore. He posted these photos in his Facebook account.
