Biology
The nest is built in the thicket of large bushes or trees. Strictly solitary species. To hunt, it uses perches not too high from the ground, from which it launches to catch insects, sometimes even on the fly. Due to the peculiar eating habits, the species prefers semi-open environments, in flat areas or on a moderate slope, with the presence of trees of good height but distant, or old orchards and sparse woods, used for grazing cattle. The nesting phase begins in May and ends in June: in general, couples complete only one brood per year.
