I spent a long time in the rain, waiting for the Red-breasted Flycatcher to appear in the willows by Helendale House. Very elusive and only fleeting views. After everyone left and I was the last one standing, I had more frequent views and managed to get some half decent record shots. From my memory this is the first male RBF I have ever seen!
Well done for the tenacity under duress!!
ReplyDeleteI'm still trying to work out where my "Spotty Teenager" is zitting from... he's gone quiet suddenly...
hoping that there was a female and he's gone quiet because he's too busy feeding brood....
that at least means he's going to be everywhere... so I'm keeping the binos trained on LBJs
