Ok so it's only a spotted flycatcher and not some North American mega
passerine, but it was great to watch this bird performing so well at Cleat
today. The seaweed is full of flies and there are several stonechats, rock
pipits and meadow pipits feeding on them. The flycatcher perched up on rocks
and either dropped onto the the seaweed to pick off invertebrates or
occasionally was seen flycatching in exactly the same manner as they do from a
perch in a tree. Obviously on the move, birds like this bring us hope that the
next migrant will be the big one!
