We noticed a flash of black and white ... |
... as a male Pied Flycatcher appeared in a favoured nesting spot. |
He flitted from tree to tree ... |
... and it wasn't long before we saw the female. |
The two were preparing to mate, with much flapping of wings in a kind of air dance. They were too quick for us to catch on camera, but it was a joy to behold.
Great find Caroline. I've yet to see any Flycatchers this year so it's good to see that they are starting to arrive back.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a pied flycatcher...
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, Caroline. I haven't seen any Pied Flycatchers since I moved to Swansea, and that is a few years back now! Where did you see them?
