Possible spotted flycatcher? (1 Viewer)

[RaptorMan]

I think thts what it was at the least. Anyway heres a description.
small about warbler size maybe a tiny bit smaller perhaps, pale white belly, grey wings with white speckles on it and grey head. I know spotted flycatchers normally return to the perch they were before. But i didn't stick around.


anyway much help apreciated.

Hi RaptorMan,

SpotFlys often return to the same perch but not always. I watched two today (miles apart) for a total of perhaps 10 minutes and neither bird returned to any of the perches it had just left.

Your description sounds ok; what sort of habitat was it?

Cheers,

Andy.

It was very dense sort of bush hawthorn with a path through the middle very dark tunnel like. Was hoping from branch to branch was only a few centimetres from it. This bush aswel was right on the edge of a lake.

thanks

Next time, try to hear it. Short high pitched noise (ziii and ziii-teck)
