Tufted Duck.

Yes

New one- sadly my local patch had just been dropped by the LWT. Pretty disappointing and right after a pair of ravens (a protected species) bred there. Probably means they’ll be a nice selection of ‘luxury’ apartments there in a few years…

Song thrush?

 

[Richard Prior]

No, now what’s that speck behind the bird likely to be? It gives a clue…

 

[Bewick]

😖is it a spotted fly?

 

[Alexander Stöhr]

Ah,

A Spotted Flycatcher indeed, the only one I’ve seen this year too!
