Came back from the walk and uploaded the photos to find I'd got a Spotted Flycatcher and youngsters, I think. the youngster shot was through the car windscreen but I think it is a young SF!!! Woop woop :yes: photos to follow :)
I'm now thinking they might be young Stonechat? Anyone?


Flycatcher or Stonechat youngsters?

Merlin thinks Stonechat and that would be my guess. Nice photo.

I only saw SF for the first time last year, none yet this year.
