These mornings are still and damp and the last two have been particularly enyoyable as a family of 3 young spotted flycatchers have displayed really well .They seem to like the fence rail and fly out erratically as they try to catch their breakfast only to return empty beaked.I almost mistook them for robins but realised on seeing the adults that they were not.
Unfortunately we have not seen any pied flies this year.
