What an Amazing couple of days on the Saturday we went for the Female Pied Flycatcher at Ladywalk, we walked up and down a few times before it was located but then had amazing views brief but nice views, such a pretty bird and a Warwickshire tick for me, always special when it's a local tick, even more special was the next day the Female Pied Flycatcher was still at Ladywalk
(Thankyou to Chris Doyle who put the news out that it was still present), so we decided to go for it again, had lovely views and got a record shot which was really nice, Dave had left his camera in the car I felt really bad hate getting a photo when he can't from now on i'm making sure he takes it with him lol
You would think the day couldn't get any better than this but then Dave got a message saying that there was a Male Pied Flycatcher at Seeswood pool, Daves Local Patch :)
We had been out all day and I was dying for a wee lol so we decided to go and have a quick check then go home, we checked all round but couldn't locate it so we headed home.
I went to the loo and then made coffees but didn't even get half way through my cuppa when Dave got a call of Steve Haynes saying he had found it, boots and coat back on and we rushed back to Seeswood, was quite distant at first but then it flew towards us and landed on the fence and fence posts and was going up and down the fence for awhile this was just amazing two Pied Flycatchers in one day and just a dream to see a Female and then a Male and have lovely views of both :)
I managed to get a record shot of the Male but it was late by this time and the light had gone so it hasn't come out well at all but just over the moon to have seen them :)
Big thank you to Danny Simmonds who found the Male Pied Flycatcher on Seeswood and also a big thank you to Steve Haynes who relocated it :)
