Nethybridge and Dulnain Bridge
Spotted Flycatcher (Muscicapa striata), at Nethybridge, taken by David Palmar. These migratory visitors arrive in the UK between late April and early May, travelling from Africa. As the name suggests, their diet consists of a variety of flying insects; they wait on a perch until they spot their prey before pursuing it, then typically land back on the same or a nearby perch. They rely on open habitats like woodland edges, gardens, cemeteries and fields to find perches and catch insects while flying. Description improved by Ilaria Lonero.
