SPOTTED FLYCATCHER

Spotted Flycatcher: Passage Migrant

Picture by Niel Twyford, Fairlop Waters CP, Sept 2009

Records show that in 2003 three pairs bred in Hainault Forest, although breeding in subsequent years is unknown. However the species is recorded during migration (more commonly in the autumn) especially at Fairlop Waters, and on Wanstead Flats.
