Hi guys.
Have never seen this one before. He / She was sitting on the telephone wire, and then flying to the underside of the guttering, looking for insect, I guess.  |

This may be a curveball but is it a Spotted Flycatcher? Seems like one to me. Congrats if it is! |

Spotted Fly Catcher, then.
It's not British, then !
It isn't in the RSPB site.
Are they rare, or uncommon? |

Looks like the rspb has it to me. The RSPB: Spotted flycatcher
They're a summer visitor as far as I'm aware, not sure how common they are though. |
