I made a very brief post work visit to add Spotted Flycatcher to my year list this evening, the bird was in the copse at East India dock Basin and showed well after about half an hour. Although Spotted Flycatcher is regular (but not annual) in the autumn, this is the first spring record apart from a bird that turned up in June 2007 that could have conceivably been an early returning migrant. I also added Garden Warbler to the year list, a very showy but silent individual, also in the copse, found during the stakeout for the Spotted Flycatcher.
