COLLARED FLYCATCHER
(Ficedula albicollis)
This male Collared Flycatcher was photographed at Halltrops hage Nature Reserve on Oland Island, in Kalmar County, at the south-east tip of Sweden, on the Baltic Sea. It is a small passerine in the Old World flycatcher family, one of the four species of Western Palearctic black-and-white flycatchers. It winters in sub-Sahara Africa. When not catching flies, it also eats caterpillars and small fruit. Its appearance is remarkably distinctive and quite noticeable.
