A cracking wee bird & one of my most favourite passerines.
Sadly all is not well with Spot Flys which are becoming increasingly rare as the UK population is now in free-fall.

Muscicapa striata

Nice capture, there were lots of spotted flycatchers in Slovenia when I was on holiday there last week Steve!
