A spectacled warbler from southern Europe was seen at Filey and a taiga flycatcher from Siberia was spotted at Flamborough Head. |
Both the genus and species name of this aggressive flycatcher are from the Latin word for tyrant. |
I saw a flock of common babblers, a migrant spotted flycatcher and my final new bird of the day an isabelline wheatear. |
The flycatcher was seen lurking in the low brush bordering a secluded pond. |
This large, long-tailed flycatcher has a pale yellow belly, gray breast and head, and rufous on its wings and tail. |
A couple days ago I saw a spotted flycatcher hawking for bugs in one of the tamarisk trees behind our building. |
