On this Day (May 30th) - 2008 Spotted Flycatcher

Spotted Flycatcher were in a declines and not 'easy' birds back in 2008! This one was taken in a Ryton garden on May 30th 2008 and I haven't bettered them since... (Thanks again Will!)

Late May is is a good time for Spotted flycatcher!! This species was voted 'best pic' from 2007 on the blog and I have a sneaking feeling that one of these may not be far away for 2008?

A 30 minute visit to a private site yielded about 15 secs of action! You learn to make the most of every fleeting chance in this game and fortunately I grabbed this one....
