Pied Flycatcher.

A quintessential spring migrant to Welsh deciduous woodlands is the Pied Flycatcher. These diminutive birds arrive in April and readily take to manufactured nest boxes in addition to their natural nesting spaces. They flit from tree to tree seeking out food in addition to dextrously plucking insects from the air. Susan and I visited a typical habitat for these birds last week on a beautiful Spring morning and managed to see and photograph a male.

They really are a lovely little bird.
