Take this picture and frame it!

This handsome Bluethroat Flycatcher (lets say pretty because it’s female) was photographed by Peter Ericsson. –Lovely little thing, isn’t it?

Bluethroats are members of the genius Cynoris (or flycatchers), a family of bird which are very similar and can be difficult to separate in the feild.  The females are sometimes more difficult to discern from each other and in the migrant and wintering months these birds will often show up in gardens. They are quite vocal and have a lovely call, which I for one would enjoy hearing all day long.
