The spotted flycatcher is one of very few British songbirds sharp enough to spot a cuckoo's egg and throw it out. Get that good and the cuckoo gives up. It rarely bothers them now.

@shiphaybirder.bsky.socialToday's migrant #SpottedFlycatcher in the 🌞 at S Devon's, #HopesNose. It was mobile and elusive early on, before giving itself up late morning. A surprisingly scarce species for the site, with just a handful of records in recent years. #UKBirding #DevonBirds

@iand777.bsky.socialFollow the gaze of the flycatcher up to the top right - another beetle in its sights.

@iand777.bsky.socialAnother late summer, sunny Sunday watching Spotted Flycatchers on a woodland edge - there were a pair spotting & catching here.
This catch looked like a beetle of some sort & took a little bit of sorting out.
Dorset/ Wiltshire border.
