Mipits - numerous and all over the place
Skylark - 2
Swallow - 3
Stonechat - 5
Goldfinch flock of c. 40
Kestrel -2
Willow Warbler - at least 7, and while I was taking some photos, this bird appeared in the viewfinder:
Very pale contrasted against the yellow of the willow warblers and a bit bigger. It disappeared before I got the bins on it and I reckon it's a spotted flycatcher but can someone confirm this from the photo please. Haven't seen spotted fly over there before.

I would say spotted Fly,nice photo .
not the clearest of photos but the undertail pattern suggests Pied Flycatcher rather than Spotted

Nice one with the Spotted Fly Jeff
Unless of course it could be a female Pied.??
Would spotted fly show white edges to tail.??
Posting for Nick D - he reckons it could be Pied Fly with the long white u/t coverts and white sides to the tail. Or perhaps the bright sunlight is distorting the image???
Any more ideas anyone!
Could you crop it or any other photo's.??
