pied flycatcher

Yesterday I spotted for the first time this year the Pied Flycatcher (bonte vliegevanger)
Of course when I grabbed my camera, he was gone.
so I doodled him as he was in my minds eye.

I looked up when I spotted him my garden last year, 2007
It was 19-th of april.
The year before that(2006) it was 17 april.
Yesterday it was 18 april!
What a timing! arriving all the way from Africa!
without computers!...and GPS !
