Observation details

🍊*Scarce migrant and a tad late. Small skulky sparrow with gorgeous, golden and grey facial pattern. Seen well on multiple occasions as it shifted between perches within the dense grass surrounding two of the research ponds. Long awaited county bird for TPH and a lifer for PLH and LAH. Photos.
