Singing male at the Snook
Observation details
Singing male in Snook found the previous day. Small pale, long tailed sylvia with a yellow iris, light brown upperparts leading into a ginger red lower rump and tail, dirty white underparts with pale bill and legs. Feeding mostly in one small patch of conifers but sometimes did a circuit where it would feed in much smaller bushes allowing for much better views to be obtained, one lightly leaved privet seemed to be its favorite and it would sing from this readily. Very small scale twitch considering first twitchable bird in UK for 20yrs, as when the tide covered the causeway for 3hrs, only 7 of us were watching it for this time and this is when best views of down to 25ft were obtained. The warbler would regularly fly and land towards the few onlookers on active feeding circuits
