Excerpt from The Nests and Eggs of Indian Birds, Vol. 2: With Four Portraits Dr. Scully informs us that the Spotted Flycatcher breeds in Gilgit in the pine-forests, at elevations over 8000 feet. Major Wardlaw Ramsay, writing of Afghanistan, says I found the nest on the 3rd June, high up on a hill-side, at about 8000 feet. It was Situated in the lowest fork of an edible pine (pinus gerardiana), about six feet from the ground.

The position of this nest was rather unusual but another I found was in a crevice of a ragged juniper-stump.
