Restless Flycatcher in Higgins

[Julie Clark <>]

I have also seen a restless flycatcher on several occasions recently near Yerrabi Pond. Photos on May 4 & 6.

New to birdwatching so was unaware that this was an unusual sighting.

 

I've attached one photo ... I do have more including several hovering.

 

Cheers

Julie

Here's the flycatcher photo - apologies for the tiny size, I tried to get it as close to 100kb as possible whilst still being recognisable.

Matt and I went out looking for it about 1/2 an hour ago, with no success.

Cheers,

Julian

A quick search yielded a Restless Flycatcher, a species I haven't seen for years - and certainly not this close to a built up area. Got some photos if anyone is interested :)

Julian,

I would be interested in seeing some photos please.  Not a species I have seen much myself.  Here I get the grey fantail and the willy wagtail, but not others as far as I know.  I'm more or less across the road from Pegasus.

Cheers.
