My pal went for that flycatcher today. A long drive from Lancs. I wasn't sure whether or not they'd nailed the exact species.

Chris | If they have they must be super-duper Empidonax bods cos, according to my Yank bird book willow and alder are inseparable by plumage alone - the song is only a bit different too.
Location location location - was it on brushy mountain slopes or on alder swamps????? In Norfolk? teee hee.
Seriously, its always impressive when these things are found - a lifetimes searching for some.  
Cheers

went to see the Grey and the Red necked phalaropes at kelling water meadows. Nice to see them in the same eyepiece at the same time. A good comparison
Was going to go to blakeny point to see the flycatcher but the forty MPH winds and heavy rain squalls put me off a bit!
Good luck to those who went up the point. A 3 mile hike there and then back on a gravel bank in those conditions didn't seem like fun! |

Ken | I don't think he's that fussed either way, he hadn't seen alder nor willow before. As long as his list gets bigger by the year he's a happy man!
