Sardinian Warbler

[Wild-Woman]

Having seen on RBA that a Sardinian Warbler had made a brief visit to Norfolk, I thought that as I've never seen one I'd look it up. Looks a bit like a cross between a Blackcap and a Whitethroat to me.
Always amazes me how birders pick these visitors out so quickly. I think I'd have thought Blackcap at first.

They're kool little birds I saw some of these when on holiday in Majorca.

No doubt david156 will add it to his list soon

Its often a lot more awkward with these warblers as most turn up in autumn and are 1st years which are very subtle looking birds compared to some of our common species.

yes I think you'd notice the difference Jules, I have seen Sardinians in Europe and they do look quite different.

I'd love to see one in this country. Seen loads around the Med.

Cheers,

Their song is very distinct + often the most common warbler in many parts of the Med. I've been lucky to see 3 or 4 in the UK. That red eye stands out in a good view.

Cool stuff to remember. Hope one pops across for me to see one day.
