Flycatcher





 There is lots of activity around the birdhouses.
The flycatcher is chasing away all the coal-tits and the blue-tits who also are looking and having inspection for a nesting place.
The flycatcher is constantly chasing them away, though there are enough birdhouses in my garden.
I pity the coal-tits and blue-tits and even wanted to interfere...But I thought that the birds can do that for themselves and let go.
It looked like that the female flycatcher has arrived as well, but not really sure.

I hope for him the get it all settled.

Flycatcher back!




 Yesterday and as well this morning, I was thinking...It must be time for the arrival of the Flycather, coming all the way from Africa to have his nestbuilding-time here!
I was thinking how he was earlier last year and maybe  he would be on its way somewhere flying above Spain or France.

I was just having my morning-coffee, when all of a sudden I saw a bird chasing away some other birds...
And yes! No doubt about it...there he was again! same behavior as all other times...making space and defending his territory.

Later I was able to capture a few photo's. 

When checking, when he arrived last year, that I noticed him it was on April 3.
