Pied Flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca)

This bird is a summer visitor to Ibiza, where we live. In twenty years this is only the second one I have seen.
It arrived on April 20th, near our house on the west side of the island, near Cala Bassa. Sorry picture quality poor, but it did not hang around !

Oooh!! How lovely for you to see this guy, especially after so long.

You've a great picture of him Garth, and really handled the focusing well through all those twigs (something I failed to manage this morning!!)

Very well done lad - thanks for showing him to us.
