European Pied Flycatcher is a species very hard to come by for three reasons. First being relatively small size, as it weighs over a dozen or so grams with a wingspan no longer than 25 centimeters. Second difficulty is its small number. Thirdly, it belongs to clandestine and timid species. Nevertheless, it happened to me once that, for a couple of minutes, it let me observe it and take several pictures. I hope they are not the last.

It is my second encounter with this bird. The previous pictures were taken in quite a poor lighting, but from a smaller distance. A few new photos taken against a much more interesting and colorful background introduced changes into the gallery of the European pied flycatcher.

On the way to Nordcapp – introduction: Grey-headed chickadee
The gallery of the European pied flycatcher has been radically changed and reconstructed. There was no problem finding this bird. It was quite common, at least to the extent that I could take many pictures more interesting than ever and I have recorded my own soundtrack with the voice of the bird.

Kris - thanks for inviting me to such a photo session in which I have not participated yet. In fact, it was a social gathering during which photos of the European Pied Flycatcher and the Firecrest were taken. The European Pied Flycatcher was a few meters away from us, occupied the nesting box. It sang beautifully throughout the day to the hosts and every now and then appeared on her favorite twigs. It just took a little patience, moving the equipment - without masking, I could take the best my photos of my Pied Flycatcher so far. The gallery has been radically rebuilt and changed its status to very good. It was similar with the Firecrest on that day. The Firecrest must have had a nest somewhere nearby, because he was collecting insects intensively, appearing every now and then on a nearby spruce. Taking pictures was also not a problem. During this session, so many interesting photos were taken that both galleries are included in the news, and this news is combined for both galleries. I hope there might be more such nice days!
