Spotted Flycatcher

I was very pleased to spot (excuse the pun!) not one but two Spotted Flycatchers in the churchyard. They have red conservation status with the RSPB so I'm really hoping they are breeding here.
They are a lovely bird to watch as they sit on an open perch and suddenly perform acrobatics to catch a fly before returning to their perch.
Here it is sitting in a dead Cedar tree, but they also like to use the gravestones as a perch. One even drank some rainwater collected in the base of an obelisk.
Delightful!
