Hume’s warbler was found on Saturday 17th January. Over a month of visits I obtained many call recordings (which I compared to sonographs of Hume’s) video and a few decent pictures of it (this isn’t one of them) so that I could send it of to the BBRC. Lovely experience of a tricky warbler.

Shustoke Res - Little Tern? at the east end. Small, quiet, restless flickering flight style, constantly dipping to the water. The question mark is observer unfamiliarity with the species, but I don't know what else it can be.

Red-crested Pochard (pr) for third day at least, adding a bit of much needed birding interest - Kingsbury Water Park - Swann Pool. Quiet otherwise, still not seen any winter thrushes in the park this autumn.

Last birding today on Shetland (fly off early morning) and amazing views of a Great Grey Shrike eating a mouse! Shetland ticks in last few days - Hoopoe, Great White Egret and Sooty Shearwater. No lifers but a trip list of 110 with many nice birds 😀

The second 5 days have been quieter but with WW Scoter, Lesser Scaup and Greenish Warbler as Shetland ticks. Also some interesting Lesser Whitethroats and a self-found LEO (Below).

The only new bird of note on the patch today was a juvenile Pintail. Still solid numbers of Shoveler about the place. A Hobby hunting a gathering of House Martin and Sand Martin was also cool to see.
