Old World flycatcher is the name for many small birds that usually feed on insects. They are a large family, the Muscicapidae, of small passerine birds
As the name suggests, these birds only occur in the Old World (Europe, Asia, and Africa). The group is related to the common sparrow.
These are mainly small insectivores. Many of them, as the name suggests, take their prey on the wing. The family includes 324 species and is divided into 51 genera.[1]
