I had a very pleasant surprise this evening when a Spotted Flycatcher paid an unexpected visit to my garden. I'd heard it calling while I was watching some dross on the telly and legged it up the stairs to grab my camera. By the time I got back downstairs the bird had moved into trees in neighbouring gardens from where it called on and off for several minutes. I had several flight views but didn't get a picture. In the gloomy evening conditions I don't think there was much insect prey for it to catch and it stayed in cover for most of the time. To make up for my piccy grabbing failure here's another picture of last week's Barnwell bird just to add a spot of colour.
