Blyth's Reed Warbler
News broke late on Monday of the first twitchable
Asian Desert Warbler up on Holy Island in Northumberland. It continued to show well all week even breaking into song but on Friday afternoon it was reported at 4.30pm but not again. Despite this news myself, George, Matt and Kai headed up and arrived just after 7am to the news that it had been searched for since dawn but the poor weather had changed around 4pm the previous and the bird had obviously used the better weather to move on. I did year tick
Eider,
Razorbill,
Guillemot,
Sandwich Tern,
Shag and
Gannet though!
As it was still early we then headed into Lincolnshire where at Far Ings NR we had better luck with the very showy
Blyth's Reed Warbler. A new bird for the others but my second after one on Shetland in 2015.
