Red-breasted Flycatcher (Ficedula parva)

One of the best birds I've found without any help and the fact that I thought is was a Chiffchaff in the few seconds I had to observe and photograph it doesn't detract from my satisfaction at all. :-)
It was only when I had downloaded it on to the computer that I realised that it was something more unusual. I was fairly sure I knew what it was after consulting the guides but I got confirmation in Bird Forum just to be on the safe side. It was a very good find for the local woods too.
