A small flycatcher perches on the edge of a pool umbrella, feathers fluffed and body rounded to conserve heat on a cold morning. It stays tucked tight, riding out the chill before the day warms up. 🪶❄️

I managed to spot the Taiga Flycatcher that's been found in Vancouver! #TaigaFlycatcher #BirdSpotting #BirdsOfMastodon #birbs #flycatcher

A Taiga Flycatcher stands on a concrete pavement covered with pine tree needle and pine drops. It looks puffy and round, as it is a cold day.

The taiga flycatcher stands on a broken branch stub on the side of a large tree, which looks charred. It is bending forwards and with its head twisted looking down

Vancouver birders got a Christmas present yesterday when someone spotted a vagrant Taiga Flycatcher (Ficedula albicilla). I went to find it this morning (with a crowd of 30-40 birders) and got some okay photos, considering the terrible lighting.

My first Leaden Flycatcher

I spotted an interesting bird at Manly North Head a few days ago. It had prominent whiskers (actually, they’re rictal bristles), a chestnut breast and white belly, and large eyes:

Was it a Spectacled Monarch? A Rufous Whistler? Maybe a female Flame Robin or Scarlet Robin? Eventually I asked the Australian Birds community on Reddit and received a likely identification: a female Leaden Flycatcher. This is a first sighting for me!

Leaden Flycatchers are common in north eastern Australia. They migrate southwards in the summer, but are uncommon in the south east where I am.

The whiskers around the beak are actually rictal bristles. They’re feathers that are modified to be sensors, helping the bird capture flying insects. After all, the bird has to earn its name, “flycatcher”!

Unfortunately, it was early morning and the bird was silhouetted against the sky, so I couldn’t get a good photo. These are the best I have.

Here’s another shot of the front of the bird:

Common name: Leaden Flycatcher
Scientific name: Myiagra rubecula
Approximate length: 15-16 cm
Date spotted: 9 October 2025 (spring)
Location: Manly North Head, Sydney Harbour National Park, New South Wales, Australia: 33°48’58.5″S 151°17’56.6″E
