Doc Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) While surfing the birding sites I noticed a very rare bird at Bempton RSPB in Yorkshire. So today I made the trip up there, quite a long way to go as it's a round trip of 250 miles but we saw the rare bird I wanted to see. It's the fourth UK record of a Eastern Crowned Warbler. What a fantastic bird you can easily tell it apart from other warblers. Also picked out a Yellow Browed Warblers, a Greenish Warbler, and loads of Goldcrests. While walking along the coast path we also saw a Bluethroat. All in all a great day out with two new ticks. Total now is 296 birds.

+Ibbo Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I thought you may have gone up for the albatross that was on the news yesterday. I bet it was a bit breezy on the tops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 The Albatross was only there for a fly by less then a minute so you had to be lucky to see it. Was spotted at Cley today so making it's way down the East coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
