    Hi Kevin,
    What is it with Spotted Flycatchers and churchyards?! The only reliable ones here are in a churchyard! Must be the peace and quiet!

    Cheers, Jan. The good things about old churchyards are the peace and the wide variety of birds that appear if you just sit and wait. Spot Flys seem to enjoy these habitats. If your in the area, have a look at Napton - its a magical place.
