A Red-breasted Flycatcher 2 years ago today in Hakodate. A female or immature I guess...............
This is a scarce but probably regular passage visitor and was my second individual after one a few years earlier.
I've also seen the very closely related Taiga Flycatcher in Hakodate but females/immatures are very similar. This was originally identified by me as a Taiga Flycatcher................nut I was wrong.
You are ahead of us with the snow. Not a flake here yet. In fact yesterday it was around 18 degrees.
ReplyDeleteThis photo was 2 years ago, it was 18 here at the weekend too...........
