Flycatcher

I photographed my first pied flycatcher, at first I thought it was a red-backed shrike. The brown wings say it is a female or a young bird, I read that in September the males look almost the same.

The ISO jumped way too high, which was not needed in the good light. It was a snapshot, so that is fine, others sit and wait for a shot like this.

Today we also worked on the drainage of the garden house roof and got the biggest part done, the T-piece is in and several pipes are connected. We still need an 85° bend to finish the run to the cistern. Even after a trip to the DIY store we could not find one in 60 mm, and sellers on Amazon want 20 Euro for it.
