One singing this afternoon, initially in the little wood south of K Steel, then across the railway line at the bottom of Duckworth Lane. Still there and very vocal when I left c2.30

Great find by Andy. Not only a first of the year for me but a Rossendale first! Not just a lovely sight but a beautiful sound too.
Pied Flycatcher still present (1045hrs) bottom of Duckworth lane, thanks Andy, Sarfraz (pictures)
Regards Brian.

Hi Mark, you are correct, I had a female Pied Flycatcher last year and several years ago, they were both only around for a day, assume yours was the same, and historically they bred in Rossendale.

Still there this morning. As usual very easy to hear and rather difficult to see.
