Spotted Flycatcher vs Red Admiral

 Highlights at the Bill early morning on Friday were a Snipe, scarce here, flushed from the Oval Field on approach and a showy Sparrowhawk on the wall. Saturday found plenty of hirundines massing here and two Arctic Skuas went west but vizmig was slow. A good look round Golf Links Lane, Flycatcher Corner and Chainbridge didn't turn much up other than masses of Chiffchaffs, two Whinchats and half a dozen Stonechats, a late Swift and a Spotted Flycatcher eating a Red Admiral.
