This is a pied flycatcher, a little bird which returns from Africa every spring. Their numbers are declining dramatically so we were very excited when we spotted this one in the garden this morning. It's not a great photo but I only managed one shot and it was off.
You really are great bird watchers Sue, I never seem to look fir different birds although I do watch the bird table when I stand at the kitchen sink. I think you have a great garden for visiting birds. We have. Lots of trees but all round the front & down into the fields where I don't go that often.
@happypat Yes you're right Pat, in fact we're a bit obsessed. Our garden is like a little nature reserve and we have lots of bird feeders with different types of food in and they attract different kinds of birds.
@gijsje Thank you Bep. It's very special isn't it when the first one is spotted.
A nice picture.
