Male and female flycathers don't fly together, from Africa to here.
Normally the male comes first and about a week later the female comes.
Male flycatcher is taking over the territory and is searching out a nestbox,
in that first week
I saw him singing and tweeting very loud and even being quite aggressively
chasing after coal-tits and other birds to make sure he is boss.
Today his behaviour was different.
and suddenly I noticed the female had arrived as well.
(The last photo is the male (darker)
the other ones show the female.)
