Photographing Pied and Spotted Flycatchers

Photographing Pied and Spotted Flycatchers. Two very attractive species that are usually quite easy to photograph, although finding a Spotted flycatcher today can be a challange. I use the 150-400mm Olympus lens and the OM-1 camera body to photograph both species. The woodland light causes problems with highlights when the sun is shining and the only solution is to return later when the sun is hidden behind cloud and the light much softer.
