Welcome

You have found us. We are a secret group of crack birders who have turned our backs on the machismo, corruption, and backstabbing greed that constitute today's birding scene, and have united together to follow the True Path of non-competitive, collaborative and generally lovely birding-as-meditation-and-spiritual-growth. Consequently, we never see anything. Birds that land right in front of our noses, and which we can identify with our observer book, are written about here. Oh, and they have to be seen in - or from - the parish of Winterton-on-Sea, Norfolk, or on the walk round past East Somerton Church ruins and up the concrete track to Winterton Holmes (because it's a nice walk which we all do).

14 October 2012 update - Steppe Lesser Whitethroat?

Just received a message from someone with experience of central asian races who says that the Lesser Whitethroat mentioned in the previous post "looks very good for Steppe Lesser Whitethroat [Sylvia curruca halimodendri - also known as Central Asian Lesser Whitethroat]. Quite sandy-grey looking contrasting with greyer hood, whiter throat and dirty buff underparts. Probably Steppe Lesser Whitethroat will be found to be a regular late autumn visitor to the UK in some years, like this year, once they sort out the systematics. It is also a potential split."

Here is another pic of the bird.  Feel free to comment!

Hi Sean

Are there any more photos showing the extent of white in the tail, the wing length and general structure etc? And any photos of the other Lesser Whitethroat that was present would also be very useful and perhaps allow for a reliable assessment of the plumage tones. Calls also are very helpful - if any were given.

Sean said...

Hi Tim, No calls I'm afraid. I'll check through the other photos tomorrow and see what else I got. Cheers, Sean
