Spotted Flycatchers in North Herts

26th July 2021

Another trip to North Herts to see how the Spotted Flycatchers had faired. At two sites where they had been present a month ago there was no sign so unsure whether they had failed to breed or had dispersed. However, at a third site there was a family party present with up to five juveniles.

The adults were quite easy to pick out due to their dark uniform mantles and wings...............

..................whereas the juveniles were far more fluffy with streaky backs.

So glad they were successful.
