Spotted flycatcher at last

A further visit to Stanton proved successful and I managed a photo of the spotted flycatcher on a long zoom. A cloudy day so not as good as I'd hoped, but you never know, I might have another opportunity. Other birds recorded were:
robin, wren, swan, jay x 2, blackbird, dunnock, reed warbler (heard), chiff chaff (heard), blue tit, great tit.
