Send pic into your local Recorder/Rare Birds Committee let them ID it | I know what you mean, but if it was a lifer I'm afraid I'd be counting it if I'd misidentified it, then a whole host of folk told me it was something a bit special and new. I have no shame.

How embarassing!!! You are correct. I took the pic in Cyprus in April.There was a large fall of Lessers and Common Whitethroats and many where feeding in a small bird bath. I did not see this bird 'dry'.... I have one other pic but it is a bit washed out (no pun)
I will never live this down...didnt even look at the legs when I posted it!!!  |

Sorry to digress.

Regards, Chris | It's ok really just kidding. For years I searched for Glaucs (never twitched back then) then finally found the first one myself one day walking alone along my local patch of seafront! I digress too.
Shearwater, please don't be embarrassed! Warblers on the continent can be a nightmare and some look very like our own with only minor differences. A location would be good though for quiz shots (along with time of year as you've been doing) |

I think someone should inform the Gallery editors as the first picture has been inserted in the WAB reference encyclopaedia as Lesser Whitethroat and so needs deleting. |
