Hello from the North of Germany,

where I caught a couple of fotos today in the Lüneburger Heide, showing a Spotted Flycatcher, Muscicapa striata, feeding on a tabanid fly.
It was quite a large fly, but obviously not big enough, a few minutes later, the bird came with another one ...

Thanks for helping with ID,

Marc
