Leaden Flycatchers

["Philip Veerman" <>]

I opened the November Gang-gang today I noted Jack's comment about:

"and surprisingly only a single report to date of Leaden Flycatcher. My impression is that these species, particularly the latter, seem so far to be here in lower numbers than in previous years."

I don't know when that was written but my recollection (I don't have the data sheets) was that I had a pair or more of Leaden Flycatchers in several of the sites that I did on the Blitz weekend. That seemed unremarkable and not worthy of writing about, it goes in the survey results where it can be considered as part of the whole, which is the best way.

 

Also I note that the "Leaden Flycatcher" on the label of Julian's photo (page 6) is a Restless Flycatcher.
