Spotted Flycatcher joins growing list of migrants overwintering in Europe New research shows that Spotted Flycatchers are increasingly overwintering around the Mediterranean rather than migrating to Africa, as Europe's milder winters reshape bird migration patterns. Using two decades of eBird data, scientists found that southern Iberia and Mediterranean islands now provide suitable wintering conditions, marking a major shift for this classic trans-Saharan migrant. https://bit.ly/4oIB9Qg
