The black-naped monarch or black-naped blue flycatcher (Hypothymis azurea) is a slim and agile colorful passerine bird belonging to the family of monarch flycatchers found in tropical forest habitats of southern and south-eastern Asia. These little birds are hard to find because it's roaming the forest ground level in dim light to catch insects and hide behind leaves. On the day of 53rd Earth Day, a stately azure-blue male black-naped monarch or black-naped blue flycatcher (Hypothymis azurea) exhibits a black nape patch and a thin black gorget at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 22/04/2023.
