Text Appearing Before Image:
t has attracted his attention,after which he immediately returns to his perch to waitfor more. When the young are hatched his time is fullyoccupied in catering for their wants, and we may misshim, or only see him for shorter periods, as it becomesincreasingly necessary for him to keep on the move andfind his food instead of waiting until the unsuspectingprey comes to him. In July and August, however, when family cares areover, we shall see a good deal of this species; both old andyoung chasing insects from various exposed perches, andannouncing the successful capture by a telling snap ofthe bill. Towards the end of August, long before lack offood or storms toll the knell of departing summer, theystart on their long journey to the south; we may not havetaken much notice of them while they were with us, but theirdeparture leaves a gap, and we then realise the part theyplayed in the picture of a summers garden. io6 SPOTTED FLYCATCHER Muscicapa grisola Adult (right).

Text Appearing After Image:
The Spotted Flycatcher The upper parts are tan brown, with dark streaks onthe crown, and pale margins to the wing coverts. Underparts whitish, streaked on the throat, breast, and flanks withbrown. The sexes are alike in plumage. The young aresimilar in colour to the parents, but spotted with buff.Length 5*8 in.; wing 3*3 in. THE PIED FLYCATCHER Muscicapa atricapilla, Linnaeus Similar in habits but different in appearance, the PiedFlycatcher is much rarer and more local than the precedingspecies. Its breeding haunts are chiefly in the west, inWales, Lancashire, Westmoreland, and Cumberland, thoughit has occasionally bred in other counties. As a migrant,however, it occurs regularly in the south and east, and,though not very numerous, a goodly number pass throughthe country, entering by the south coast and leaving againin the east from Norfolk northwards. A return migrationtakes place in August and September. During these migrations it may, of course, be found invarious kinds of country,
