Can anyone identify this bird

Looks like a female Pied Flycatcher to me.

In reply to Marc_MK:

Could it be a spotty? Just asking due to not seeing any white in the wing, but equally I’ve never seen pied and this bird doesn’t look massively streaky either.
Pretty good garden spot anyway.

My first thought was a Spotted Flycatcher. But as Internetman writes, it doesn't look streaky.

"Don't know", is my reply, having seen (just) a few Pieds and Colareds, and (quite a few) Spotteds.

But more importantly, what's the huge orange bird behind it? The one with the green eyes?

Would be the first UK sighting since 1382. But it could just be...

Thanks for the tip, Mr. B!

(No thoughts on the evil space frog I suppose?)

First for the uk to my knowledge.

Let's hope another one turns up. It would be so nice to have a breeding pair.
