RB Fly

Before today I had seen three Red-breasted Flycatchers in Britain, and if you totalled the time I'd spent watching them it would come to about five seconds, so I was keen to see another.

I got back from school and saw that the bird at Druridge Pools had been photographed, so that was our target.

We arrived at the plantation and there it was. We got some very nice views of the first-winter Red-breasted Flycatcher over the next five minutes, but unfortunately the light was terrible, so I'll have to make do with this record shot...

Also a Greenshank flew over and a Barn Owl hunted in the dunes.
