Pied Flycatcher

Migration through the patch has been pretty slow so far, with a single Wheatear on the Golf Course in the week the only notable occurrence. However things took a turn for the better this evening with a Pied Flycatcher at Sidestrand.
 
Butterflies have become a bit more evident in the recent warmer weather, with notable sightings including Wall on the cliffs at Trimingham, a single Common Blue by the Lighthouse which is a species which unusually has been ultra scarce on the patch this year, and there's also been a nice influx of Peacocks too.


Common Darters are also becoming widespread in recent days, including this pair in copulation.
