Yellow Bellied Flycatcher

Yellow Bellied Flycatcher fighting for survival on the NJR

TheTamshee: reads with interest that the Norfolk twitchers are flocking to glimpse the "rare to these shores"

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.
