Black tie in the beechwoods

The Collared Flycatcher is a smart black-and-white passerine that breeds in the deciduous woodlands of the Vrsac Mountains. In spring it uses old tree holes and nestboxes, perching on exposed branches to launch insect-catching flights. Around our forest hides it can offer classic, clean portraits that feel like they belong on the cover of any European bird guide.
