A photo of a Spotted Flycatcher. Thery hunt from conspicuous perches, making sallies after passing flying insects, and often returning to the same perch. Their upright posture is characteristic.
Spotted Flycatcher Muscicapa striata, of the family Muscicapidae. One of three found in one of my local Reserves, a few years ago.

𝗣𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗘𝗻𝗴): A spotted flycatcher in flight, flapping its wings, which are barely extended at this moment; in the background, a blurred woodland setting can be seen, specifically, although not clearly visible, a mature poplar tree. My success rate when I try these types of photographs is less than 1%, but when I get one, it's all worth it. 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝗰𝗶𝗼́𝗻 (𝗘𝘀𝗽): Papamoscas gris en vuelo, agitando las alas, que en este momento están apenas extendidas; al fondo se ve un entorno boscoso desenfocado, concretamente, aunque no se aprecia, un chopo maduro. El porcentaje de éxito que tengo cuando intento este tipo de fotografías es inferior al 1%, pero cuando consigo alguna, todo merece la pena.

𝗣𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗘𝗻𝗴): A spotted flycatcher is seen almost from behind, although it turns its relatively large head, and we can see its greyish-brown back with feathers without any notable white markings. 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝗰𝗶𝗼́𝗻 (𝗘𝘀𝗽): Papamoscas gris visto casi de espaldas, aunque vuelve su cabeza que es relativamente voluminosa, y podemos ver su dorso de tonos pardo-grisáceos cuyas plumas carecen de manchas blancas destacables.

Look at what the westerly wind blew in!
Another migrant on it's way down to sub-Saharan Africa.
It's a shame the local finches weren't more welcoming - a red-listed bird should have been shown greater hospitality.
Rewild with scrub & they may drop-in...
Notice the tick!

Otro verano más, nuestro querido Papamoscas gris/Muscicapa striata y su familia nos alegran con sus revoloteos por el jardín cazando insectos al vuelo. Al de la foto, que parece mirarme con curiosidad, le gusta mucho posarse en esa cuerdecita tipo columpio 🥰 #Mediterráneo #SpottedFlycatcher 💚🪶

A first for me: a spotted flycatcher. They start their trek to Africa during August, so I feel lucky. 🪶 #spottedflycatcher #grauwevliegenvanger
Spotted flycatcher posing well at Flore churchyard this morning

4 eggs in the open-fronted nest box I put up 3 years ago: pale blue with red spots
Chicks in the grassy nest material; difficult to be sure how many
Last fledgling poised on the brink. It sat there all day with the parents calling but refusing to feed it.
Back after an evening out and the box is empty.
3 weeks in the lives of the local spotted flycatchers. #somersetbirding #spottedflycatcher
Not much happening in the forest. I did get a glimpse of my first spotted flycatcher. 🪶 #spottedflycatcher #grauwevliegenvanger #wildlifeNL #nature
A suitably sylvan setting on Devon's #Dartmoor in which to watch this #SpottedFlycatcher this afternoon. #DevonBirds #UKBirding #BBCSpringwatch #DartmoorNationalPark
Spotted flycatcher
Hard to find, hard to photograph. Rather plain little guy but there is something special about them in the fleeting time they visit for

Este pajarillo tan discreto es un Papamoscas gris/Muscicapa striata y es de agradecer que tenga la buena costumbre de estarse un rato quieto en la misma rama🙂 Es insectívoro y caza bichos al vuelo lanzándose desde su posadero y casi siempre volviendo a la misma percha💚 #Madrid #SpottedFlycatcher 🪶
Spotted Flycatchers throughout Park Wood, Gower, this morning - at least 8 seen, with plenty of song and calls. Also, ad. Dipper feeding a juv. at Parkmill (Ilston Cwm) #birdingWales #SpottedFlycatcher
