I'd started my search for Spotted Flycatchers a few weeks ago. I knew that I was a bit early, but a bit like Christmas, I get very excited by these birds and the apprehension and build up to them arriving has me looking earlier each year. I am usually then disappointed, but I know that it's just a matter of time.
Thankfully, there are plenty of other birds around to keep my spirits up. Birds like the Redstart, and on this occasion some Tawny Owls. Anyway, I did eventually find my Spotted Flycatchers, and I'll be making regular visits to see how they're getting on over the next few months.

Hello Adam,
ReplyDeleteGreat video and wonderful photos. The Spotted Flycatcher, the Common Redstart are both lovely birds. A favorite is the cute Tawny owlet. Great sightings and outing.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great day and a happy week ahead!
Hello Adam,

I love owls, so I think your young owl is gorgeous.

Lovely photos of the Spotted Flycatchers, and that Tawny Owlet is an absolute gem.
