Alder Flycatcher

 An unusual place to find an Alder Flycatcher, on the rocks at the end of West Head. I'm mostly guessing at the species here, the small flycatchers can be difficult to identify without hearing their calls. During migration they are mostly silent and sometimes they can show up in unusual places. As their name suggests they are mostly found in thickets, only venturing out to take insects on the wing and then returning to cover.
