Dorney Common
A spotted flycatcher was among warblers in the corner of the common this morning.
I didn't pay much attention when a pale bird landed rather clumsily in nearby brambles and began to preen in full view - very different behaviour from the swift dash into cover of the other warblers.
I thought it was a female chaffinch. Realising my mistake I took a few pics but then lost it. Blackcaps, chiffchaffs and whitethroats were also present.
