Summary[edit] Description: Taken at Pitsford NR. I was lucky enough to get a voulenteer place for Pitsford NR. So today, I went and did a bit of ringing if them!! WE caught LOADS including: Spotted Flycatcher Tree Sparrows Blue Tits Great Tits Tree Creeper Chiffchaffs AND MORE!! Please Visit my friends Website: northamptonshirebirding.blogspot.co.uk/?vm=r&s=1 Spotted Flycatcher At first glance, spotted flycatchers might seem dull brownish-grey and - well - a bit boring. It's better to think of them as beautiful in an understated way. Watch them for a short period and you'll be charmed by their fly-catching antics. Spotted flycatchers fly from a high perch, dash out to grab a flying insect and return to the same spot. Status: Red Population: UK Breeding: 63,700 territories. Date: 22 September 2013, 08:12.
