Abstract
A Red-breasted Flycatcher (_??_) visited Kanzaki Machi, Saga Pref. in this winter (from Feb. 25 to Mar. 31, 1974).
She stayed alone over one month in the grave-yard growing with trees of Jokoji (a Buddhist temple) in this town. This yard is edged with narrow drains on the north and the west side. She captured mainly midge-flies, Orthocladius akamushi (Chironomidae originally produced from the drains) on the grasses and among the trees.
She moved from sunrise to sunset everyday and frequently had a short rest and sometimes a long on the bush at the north-west edge of the yard, and every night roosted on one and the same twig of an old Kusu-tree, Cinnamonum Camphors Sieb. within the range of her daytime activity.
Her behaviours resembled those of the Daurian Redstart, Phaenicurus auroreus auroreus on the ground and those of the Sumatran Brown Flycatcher, Muscicapa latirostris latirostris among the branches of trees.
