Collared Flycatcher 1 first-summer male ex.

First-summer male Collared Flycatcher at Ethie Mains (Alan Tate http://www.aabirdpix.com/rp9697.htm )
A long drive north with JFC, JK and Steve Mawby who had just been watching Collared Flycatchers abroad! We stopped for a Ross's Gull in Northumberland that we unfortunately didn't see but then continued north on hearing news of the birds continued presence. On arrival at the small wood there was no sign of the bird but it thankfully soon reappeared.
