I’ve just seen the photo of the North Uist swallow.
Surely not the same bird but the broken tail-streamer makes me wonder!
I really wish I’d got the camera out as the red throat was so obvious in crappy conditions.
I briefly thought ‘yank’ & binned it off thinking they had buffer underparts 🤷🏻♂️

Not guilty this time but I guess it’s just one of those grey November days.
I see mist but doubt I’d even see sea even without the ‘sea mist’ here in Tunbridge Wells, if you see what I mean 😢

Oh, I keep searching Tunbridge Wells for another yank warbler. I’m not giving up so when you release it please show it a map and tell it where to head off to…
… peak time for them round here now.

63, and counting - wow!
I had a Firecrest at a new site in Tunbridge Wells (Calverley Grounds) today. Goldcrest is still the commoner of the two crests here at the moment however.
