Yellow Bellied Flycatcher which has been seen in Europe for the first time. Normally a resident of the spruce bogs in Canada and the north-eastern United States they seem to have been de-railed while migrating to Mexico. It's also been a spectacle for the troops on the NJR. We have, what seems like hundreds flying around the rig at the mercy of four rather fat Sparrowhawks and a buzzard.

Eurasian Sparrowhawk
"Such glance did Falcon never dart, When stooping on his prey" MarmionTheTamshee: is always on the look out for birds of prey; while travelling on the B6359 Bowden to Melrose back road we spotted the secretive Sparrowhawk in the sparse hedgerow. The female bird was unconcerned, allowing me to reverse alongside for a close up view. See this Site for some fun birds in the bath, including the sparrowhawk. Copyright Dave Culley
