Spotted Flycatcher - last of the migrants

 I saw my first Spotted Flycatchers today, with a pair in Clough Wood. Although they've been back for a week at Carsington I think the 3rd week in May is a fairly typical arrival date locally. Whilst watching them I also had a male Pied Flycatcher singing. So a nice combination with both flycatchers together.

With the arrival of the Spotted Flycatcher that's all our migrant breeding birds accounted for, although there is still a chance of a Quail and the possibility of a scarcer migrant.
