First sighting this spring. He was very busy hawking for insects. Photo 5 shows a spider's abdomen and legs just visible in his gaping beak.

This is a pretty rare sighting at Brogo. We used to hear them occasionally out in the forest but to see them around the house is most unusual. This one was behaving very like a Scarlet Robin, perching quite low and pouncing on prey on the ground, as well as hawking for flying insects, but also ventured up into the tree tops. It was moving around very actively so Max was lucky to get a few in focus shots of it.
